Figs. 96 (habitus), 99 (aedeagus), 200 (map)

New Record: Venezuela : Territorio Federal Amazonas, Cerro de la Neblina , Basecamp, flight-intercept pan trap across small stream in forest, elev. 140 m, 0° 50' N, 66° 10' W, 24 ii 1985, P. J. Spangler, P. M. Spangler, R. A. Faitoute, W. E. Steiner (4 USNM).

Distribution. Currently known from Colombia and Venezuela ( Fig. 200).

Notes. The differences in the width of the main-piece of the holotype aedeagus and the male from Venezuela ( Figs. 99 a, 99b) are the result of slightly different orientation during drawing. The most notable difference is the shape of the apical lobe of the distal piece.
