Lacosoma vulfreda

(

)
This
rarely collected species is only known from coastal
Chocó department
(
type
locality Bellavista). For the first time, the male genitalia is shown (
Fig. 5
). The species
L. aurora
Dognin
,
1916 is very similar but was described from higher elevations in
Boyacá
and is likely distinct from
L. vulfreda
.

Additional comments:
We found two
Druentica
Strand, 1932
morphotypes represented by
four specimens
in the
MPUJ
, however, they could not be identified to the specific level. They may be undescribed species, but are similar to
D. patawa
Herbin, 2016
,
D. differenciata
Bryk, 1953
, and related species. Nevertheless, barcoding and a full genus revision are needed for clear identifications of
Druentica
in Colombia and the rest of the Neotropics. Upon completion of this manuscript, we identified one additional mimallonid specimen, representing a second species of
Gonogramma
deposited in the
