Doryphoribius gibber
Beasley & Pilato, 1987
Material examined:
Eight specimens (
Table 1
), 5 mounted in Hoyer’s medium, and
3 in
PVA from the locality of Bonda, lower basin of ManZanares river. The microhabitat was a mixed assemblage of bryophytes (
Dicranaceae
,
Frullaniaceae
,
Racopilaceae
) growing on tree.
Remarks:
This species has been previously recorded in
U.S.
A (states of
Arkansas
and
Kansas
) and
Mexico
(
Chiapas
) (
Beasley & Pilato 1987
; Pilato & Lisi 2006;
Chappell
et al
. 2015
), it is therefore the first record of this species for
Colombia
and the entire South America.
