ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A new species of Thraulodes Ulmer 1920 is described based on nymphs and imagos from Tapias river, Caldas department, Colombia. The mature nymphs were reared until the emergence of the imagos. Thraulodes latinus sp. n. can be distinguished from other species of the genus by: In males, the forewing without cross veins basal to bullae and with 11-14 cross veins distal to bullae, abdominal and legs color pattern, styliger plate redounded, with a long and digitiform median projection and shape of penes with apicolateral area forming an "ear-like" projection. In nymphs, the claws with eight denticles and the general coloration pattern. Additionally, data on the anatomy of the reproductive tract of both the male and female imago of the new species are presented.
ABSTRACT
Abstract In the Neotropical region, especially South America, Leptophlebiidae achieves its higher diversity, with 45 genera and almost 250 species. In Colombia, the diversity about this family is underestimated, with only 22 species reported so far. In order to contribute to the current knowledge of the Leptophlebiidae in Colombia we examined the adults of this family deposited at the Colección Entomológica del Programa de Biología, Universidad de Caldas. In addition to the historical records herein presented, nine species are registered for the first time from the country (Farrodes savagei, F. tepui, F. xingu, Hagenulopsis minuta, Terpides contamanensis, T. echinovaris, T. ornatodermis, Tikuna atramentum, and Ulmeritoides flavopedes). Besides that, additional records are presented for 12 species of the following genera: Askola, Farrodes, Simothraulopsis, Tikuna, Ulmeritoides, Hydrosmilodon, Terpides, Choroterpes, Paramaka, and Hagenulopsis. With these additional and new records, we update the list of Leptophlebiidae from Colombia to 33 species and 14 genera.
