Ascuntar-Osnas, Oscar, 2018, A new species and new records of the genus Oideterus Thomson, 1857 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Prioninae: Anacolini) from Colombia, Zootaxa 4471 (1), pp. 189-194 : 191-192

Oideterus andrarius ( Galileo, 1987) ( Figure 2 A-B-C)

Diagnosis: This species differs from congeners by the following combination of characters, according to Galileo (1987): Sides of pronotum subparallel at margins before spine, in the other species, they are oblique; and by elytra with lateral margins narrowed apically from about middle. Metatarsomere I about as long as V ( Fig. 2C ).

Additional record: VALLE DEL CAUCA, Calima, El Darién, Bravo river , 1 male, on trunks. Elevation: 868 m. Collection date: September 21-23rd 1990 . Collector: Luis Carlos Pardo Locarno. Code: CFLP-S15-263 E.O.

Previous records: ANTIOQUIA (see Beazrk 2018). CUNDINAMARCA (see Galileo 1987, p. 562), VALLE DEL CAUCA (see Galileo 1987, p. 562; Bezark 2018). RISARALDA (see Martinez 2000, p. 84).

Remarks: Oideterus andrarius is only known from Colombia, mainly associated with the Andean region, in an altitudinal range between 1730 and 2300 m ( Fig. 3 ). The species is recorded for the first time for Caldas, Huila and Quindío Departments. New records come from protected areas and habitats in restoration process. One of the localities (Bremen forest, Quindío), has been in restoration process for 13 years ( Herrera-Rangel et al. 2015). Another new record originated at the Merenberg farm (Huila), which is currently a private natural reserve (with almost 300 ha of extension) with 150 ha of secondary forests and 150 ha of pastures ( Carvajal 2014).

Geographic distribution: Colombia (Antioquia, Caldas*, Huila*, Quindío*, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca). *New locality. See Fig. 3 .
