Apex of phallic guide short, angled at about 30 degrees (Fig. 80). Phallus with one ejaculatory duct with three spines reclined, the other two ducts without spine (Fig. 80). Ejaculatory apodeme shortened, distally truncated (Fig. 81). Gonopods subsymmetrical, right gonopod slightly longer (Fig. 82).

Material examined. COLOMBIA, Bolivar, SFF[Santuario de Fauna y Flora] Los Colorados, Villa Roca, 9º54’N / 75º07’W, 180 m [eters], Malaise, 24.ix–9.xi.2001, E. Deulufeut leg, “M2419”, (1♂, IAvH)” (photographed specimen); “ idem, Vichada, PNN[Parque Nacional Natural] Tuparro, Pie Cerro Tomas, 5º21’N / 67º51’W, 250 m [eters], 22.v.–3.vi.2001, W. Villalba leg “M1792” (1♂, LEUA)”.

Geographical distribution. Argentina; Cuba; Dominica; Mexico; Nicaragua; (Rodriguez & Rafael 2012); Colombia, Bolivar, Santuario de Fauna y Flora Los Colorados; Vichada, Parque Nacional Natural Tuparro (Fig. 133).

Habitat. The specimens were collected with Malaise traps at ground level in areas of tropical dry forest in the Caribbean region, at the Santuario de Fauna y Flora Los Colorados and Parque Nacional Natural Los Colorados, where the vegetation is composed of gallery forest with low elevation of the canopy from the ground in the Orinoco region of Colombia.

Comments. The specimens collected are similar to the holotype illustrated by Ale-Rocha & Rafael (1995), differing only in the length, which exceeds in 1.16 mm that of the holotype.
