Ghilianella mirabilis McAtee & Malloch, 1925

Ghilianella Spinola, 1835 has two subgenera and 57 described species ( Wygodzinsky 1966; Maldonado 1990). It is easily recognized by the laterally acute prolonged apical last abdominal segments, as illustrated by Wygodzinsky (1966). G. mirabilis has been recorded from Brazil and Bolivia ( Maldonado 1990). The previously known data and the Colombian specimens indicate that this species is restricted to the Amazon basin. The specimens examined here are a new record from Colombia.
