( Figs 163–165 )

Oxysarcodexia liliarum Souza & Buenaventura, 2016: 120 ; Colombia, Antioquia, Caldas, La Clara. Holotype male in CE-TdeA, 2 male paratypes in each of CE-TdeA, MNRJ and NHMD.

Diagnosis. Male. Length 5.5 mm. Postocular plate with golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles well developed. Thorax with golden pollinosity. Three well-differentiated post-sutural dorsocentral bristles posteriorly and 1 smaller bristles anteriorly. Apical scutellar bristles absent. Legs dark brownish. Abdomen with golden pollinosity laterally on T1+2−5, dorsally on T1+2−3 and silvery pollinosity dorsally on T1+2−3. T1+2−4 with 1 pair of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel. Cercus sinuous in lateral view, with normal apex (i.e., as broad as median area). Cercus with bristles ventrally only in distal third. Cerci with distal third narrower than middle part in posterior view; parallel. Pregonite with expanded base, gradually narrowing to apex; unicolorous. Postgonite with apical portion showing a stronger degree of narrowing than the pregonite; unicolorous. Distiphallus flower-like, distally membranous, with smooth margins, a large dorsoapical swelling, ventroapical projections, lateroapical expansions, notched (V-shaped) ventroapical margin, squared apex and slightly sinuous dorsal outline. Juxta with distal margin membranous, serrated anteriorly and slightly folded inwards. Vesica symmetrical; distal lobes well developed, oblong, sclerotized, with serrated distal margin.

Remarks. See under O. ariozanoi sp. n., O. augusta and O. favorabilis . Female unknown.

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL. Colombia.

Biology. The type specimens were collected using a Van Someren-Rydon trap baited with chicken viscera and fish heads, placed at elevated sites (1800–2000 m) of rural and a semi-urban/rural areas surrounded by pastures and some shrub remains of the original vegetation, as described by Ramírez-Mora et al. (2012).
