Colombia , Dept. Magdalena , N. Sierra Nevada de Sta. Marta , San Lorenzo , 2200 m ; 18.- 24.08.1985 ; coll. H.G. Müller , “am Wegrand, aus der Vegetation” . – MHHG ; 1 female ; same data as for the male, but 22.08.1985 , “am Wegrand, unter Stein” . Remarks: The original description ( Hebard, 1919 ) and the data of Roth (1971) and Roth & Gutierrez (1998) are sufficient and a re-examination of the types is therefore not necessary. The type material (not examined) is probably kept in entomological collection of Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (former Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia). The type locality is “San Lorenzo, Sierra Nevada de Santa Maria, Magdalena , Colombia ” ( Hebard, 1919 ), i.e. the specimens redescribed below were collected not far away from the type locality. The following supplementary details can be given. Somatic characters of male: General colour yellowish brown. Colouration of head as in Fig. 8 , eyes black, facial part of head with large longitudinal dark brown spot. Antennae yellowish brown.
