Genus
Haematomantispa

Type species:
Mantispa nubeculosa

.
Haematomantispa
is a Neotropical genus composed by two species with distribution ranging from
Costa Rica
to
Brazil
(
Machado & Rafael 2010
). Members of this group are easily distinguished because of their striking body coloration pattern of dark reddish (
Fig. 9
). The pronotum is straight and covered with scattered fine setae arising flush with the pronotal surface in lateral view. Male abdomen lacking pores; pseudopenis long and whip-like. Until now, this genus has never been recorded in
Colombia
, although there are reports of
Haematomantispa nubeculosa
Navás
in
Panama
and
H. amazonica
Machado & Rafael
in
Brazil
(
Hoffman 2002
;
Machado & Rafael 2010
). The lack of records from
Colombia
is undoubtedly a result of the few studies on the fauna of the group in the area. Here we recorded the genus for the first time in the country, with
H. nubeculosa
present in the department of
Antioquia
.
