Genus Cordulecerus Rambur, 1842 View in CoL View at ENA

Cordulecerus Rambur,1842:359 View in CoL . Type species: Ascalaphus surinamensis Fabricius, 1798: 207 View in CoL .

This genus is exclusively Neotropical and with a distribution range from Mexico to Argentina ( Van der Weele, 1909; Penny, 1981a). The group includes 10 species and one subspecies ( Table 1), which in general are easily distinguished by a trianguloid shape of the hind wing often with distinct dark maculation ( Penny, 1981a). Species of this genus may be identified following the keys of Penny (1981b, 2002) and Heckman (2017), and the monograph of Van der Weele (1909). Some species are likely mimics of vespid wasps, due to the shape and dashed color pattern of the abdomen ( Henry, 1977). To Colombia C. praecellens View in CoL and C. subiratus View in CoL were known ( Ardila-Camacho & García-García, 2012), herein we reported the occurrence of C. surinamensis View in CoL for the first time in the country.
