Macropygium spinolae Stål, 1860

Distribution. Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina.

Distribution in Colombia. Unknown. This species was recorded from Colombia in the taxonomic revision of the genus by Da Silva & Campos (2021), but without specific locality. The geographic coordinates recorded in the examined material suggest Vichada as a possible locality.

Remarks. Macropygium spinolae has the antennae five-segmented, the first and second antennal segments subequal in length; the segment X of pygophore is wider than long, the apex is rounded with abundant setae; the lateral angle of the laterotergite VIII is projected well beyond the line connecting the mesial trichobothria of the urosternite VII, and covering completely the base of the laterotergite IX.
