Diagnosis. Male. Postcranium dorsally brownish-pruinose, ventrally grayish-pruinose, ( Fig. 11 ). Hind trochanter with white protuberance, setose ( Fig. 12 ). Tergites and sternites 6 and 7 as in Fig. 13 . Surstyli similar in shape, with hooked-tip, right surstylus slightly shorter ( Figs 14–15 ), tip of both surstyli downward-directed when seen in lateral view ( Figs 16–17 ). Phallic guide with apex lined with the main body of the structure, bearing one fine dorsal spine ( Fig. 18 ). Phallus with one ejaculatory duct with small spine ( Fig. 18 ).

Habitat. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps placed at the ground level in the following areas: a sugar cane plantation ( Sacharum officinarum ); a tropical humid forest reserve in the Colombian Amazon; Departament of Caquetá , Parque Nacional Natural La Paya with savanna vegetation; floodplain forests of the Orinoco region at Parque Nacional Natural La Macarena; the dry tropical forest of the Andean region in the Santuario de Fauna y Flora Iguaque and the Caribbean region at Santuario de Fauna y Flora Los Colorados. Comments. The specimens observed in this study are smaller and have a surstylus basally narrower compared to the holotype illustrated by Ale-Rocha & Rafael (1995) .
