Angaben zur Gattung

• Typusart: Apatelodes concerpta Draudt, 1929 [Originalbezeichnung]
• Etymologie: The generic name is a tribute to the two Inca leaders Túpac Amaru, who fought against the domination and oppression of Spanish colonisers. Both were brutally murdered by Spanish colonisers. The first Túpac Amaru was condemned and murdered by hanging in September 1572. Whereas the second Túpac Amaru suffered one of the cruelest executions ever seen. Before being killed in May 1781, he was forced to witness the torture and death of his wife, children and friends. Afterward, he had his legs and arms tied to four horses to be quartered alive. They did not manage, however, to complete the execution and decided to behead him by sticking his head on a spear; afterwards, they sent his four limbs to the cities where he had fought.
