Type species: Colomboga brachyptera sp. n., here designated.

Diagnosis. Coryphe transverse. Metope broad, weakly convex, with strong median carina. Forewings wide, weakly narrowing to widely rounded apices, with narrow hypocostal plate and few transverse veins. Forewings with distinct narrow precostal area without transverse veins. Forewing clavus long, nearly reaching wing apices, open (vein Pcu+A1 running to apex of clavus). Hind wings 3­lobed, with deep cubital and vannal clefts. Hind tibiae with a single lateral spine. Hind margins of male pygofer straight, without processes. Capitulum of style without neck, with distinct lateral tooth. Aedeagus massive, visible above the phallobase from lateral view, with long apical processes and long ventral hooks directed downwards. Dorso­lateral phallobase lobes fused dorsally. Male anal tube elongate, with two furcated processes on its apical angles directed downwards. In female, gonoplacs short, nearly triangular, with rounded angles. Female anal tube elongate, three times as long as wide basally.

Description – Morphology. Coryphe transverse, from dorsal view 2.5 times as wide as long medially, with weak median carina and keeled lateral margins; anterior margin straight; posterior margin concave; lateral margins weakly convex ( Figs 1 , 3 ). Fastigium nearly at right angle (in lateral view) ( Fig. 4 ). Metope wide, roughly pentagonal from frontal view, weakly convex in lateral view, enlarged below eyes, with strong median carina running from its upper margin and continuing to postclypeus ( Figs 4, 5 ). Upper margin of metope slightly concave; lateral margins carinae obscuring antennal base. Metopoclypeal suture weak. Eyes large, diameter of each eye 0.7 of coryphe width. Lateral ocelli present. Antennal pedicel barrel­shaped. Rostrum short and thick, 2nd and 3rd segment are nearly equal in length; 3rd segment not narrowing apically. Pronotum twice as long as coryphe at midline, without carinae; anterior margin strongly convex, with truncate apex; posterior margin concave medially. Pronotum depressed medially. Paradiscal fields of pronotum narrow behind the eyes. Paranotal lobes of pronotum elongate vertically, flat, without carinae. Mesonotum twice as long as pronotum, with two carinae joined at obtuse angle below its upper margin. Tegulae large. Forewings wide, weakly narrowed distally to widely rounded apices, with narrow hypocostal plate. Forewings with distinct narrow precostal area, well developed from wing base to almost lateral margins, lacking transverse veins, and with distinct knee bulge (bulla) ( Fig. 3 ). Basal cell narrowly oval. Forewing vein branching sequence: R (Sc + R) 2, starting from basal cell by short common stem and furcating before knee bulge; M 2, furcating near wing middle, M 1 also furcating distally; CuA 2, furcating apically; some transverse veins. Clavus long, reaching nearly wing apices, open, with Pcu + A 1 running to its apex. Hind wings nearly as long as forewings, 3­lobed, with concave anterior margin near to coupling lobe and deep cubital and vannal clefts. Basal cell large, rounded. Hind wing vein sequence: R 2, furcating after coupling lobe; r­m 1; M 1; m­cua 1; CuA 2, furcating at its apical third; CuP 1; Pcu 1; A 1 2; A 2 1. CuA 2 and CuP fused before cubital cleft. Hind tibiae with a single lateral spine above its middle and eight apical spines. First and second metatasomeres short, nearly equal in length, with long setae ventrally. First metatasomere with two latero­apical and 6–7 intermediate spines arranged in weak arc. Second metatarsomere with two latero­apical spines. Arolium of pretarsus reaching claw apices, with straight posterior margin in dorsal view.

Etymology – Generic name is derived from an amalgamation of “ Colombia ” and

“ Bogota ”. Feminine in gender.
