Hind tarsus missing. Abdomen. Tergites brownish with grey pollinosity; marginal lateral setae differentiated and developed. Tergites 3–5 with a pair of lateral basal developed setae. Sternite 1 bare. Sternite 5 ( Figure 2G ): large, with two sclerotized, concave and elongated plates, with strongly developed setae along plates. Terminalia ( Figures 3G , 4G ): epandrium longer than wide, with long and sparse setae; surstylus articulated with epandrium, narrow apically and with sparse and short setae on apical half; cercal plate elongated and setulose. Hypandrium and associated structures as in Figure 5G . Female. Unknown. Biological notes According to collecting label data this is found in the forest and is associated with decomposing organic matter such as fish. Comments On the holotype some structures are missing: the fore right, mid and hind legs, the tarsi on the mid and hind legs on the left side and the second presutural dorsocentral setae. Etymology The specific epithet, uwa , refers to the indigenous U´wa, who inhabited the Colombian Andes in the departments of Santander ( type locality of the species), Boyacá, Norte de Santander, Arauca and Casanare . They belong to the Chibcha linguistic family. Noun in apposition . Type material Male holotype (CEUA). Colombia . Santander . Piedecuesta \ Vereda Cristales. Finca El Rasgón \ Bosque. 2290–2390 m .
