Anacroneuria guambiana Stark & Zúñiga, 2003:234. Female description

Material examined. COLOMBIA: 2♂, Risaralda, Municipio de Pereira, Parque Regional Natural Ucumarí, Estación La Pastora, Río Otún headwater basin, 2400 m, N 04 ° 42 32 , W 75 ° 29 37 , 15-16 June 2006, light trap, W. Cardona (MEUV). 2♂, Same data, except 10-11 March 2007, M. del C. Zúñiga, W. Cardona, G. Zabala, C. Cultid (MEUV). 2♂, Same data, except Quebrada La Pastora, 2440 m, N 04 ° 42 54 , W 75 ° 29 26 , 12 March 2007 (MHN-ICN). 4♂, Same data, except 3 July 2007, M. del C. Zúñiga, W. Cardona, J. Chará, L. P. Giraldo, A. M. Chará (MEUA, BPS, BYU). 2♂, Same data, except Río Otún metallic bridge, 2350 m, N 04 ° 42 35 , W 75 ° 30 03 , 5 July 2007 (BPS, BYU). 1♀, Risaralda, Municipio de Santuario, Parque Municipal Natural Planes de San Rafael, Río San Rafael middle basin, 2050 m, N 05 ° 07 38 , W 76 ° 00 08 , light trap, 15-16 July 2007, M. del C. Zúñiga, W. Cardona, G. Zabala, C. Cultid, A. Laina (MEUV).

Discussion. This series of twelve specimens is similar to those reported earlier from this site by Stark & Zúñiga (2003), however in this same collection from “La Pastora” are eight males whose head pattern matches that of A. socapa Stark & Zúñiga, but whose aedeagal features are like those of the males listed above. Four additional “intermediate” males were collected at another site, Natural National Park Los Nevados, El Jordán at 3100 meters, in Risaralda, and three males with the opposite condition (A. socapa aedeagus but without head markings) were collected at two additional sites in Risaralda (reported under A. socapa). The “La Pastora” site specimens also include several typical males of A. socapa. This suggests the possibility of hybridization at sites in Risaralda, or, perhaps the head pattern character is less reliable than previously thought.
