( Fig. 9c View FIGURE 9 , 10 View FIGURE 10 k–l)

Material examined. Colombia, Cundinamarca: 1 macropterous ♂, Puerto Salgar , 5°28'1.62''N 74°39'43.32''W, M. S. Laython col. (BIOUNAL) GoogleMaps . Quindío: 1 brachypterous ♂, Corozal , 1144 m. 14.vii.2005, I. Morales col. ( UPTC) . Santander: 1 brachypterous ♀, Curití, Río Curití , 6°36'17,4''N 73°4'47,4''W, 1464 m. 22.ix.2017, I. Morales & F. Molano col. ( UPTC) GoogleMaps ; 2 brachypterous ♀, 3 brachypterous ♂, Barichara , 6°38'7.0''N 73°18'2.2''W, 1386 m. 20.ix.2017, I. Morales & F. Molano col. ( UPTC) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Brazil: Goiás ( Floriano et al. 2017), Mato Grosso ( Dias-Silva et al. 2013), Pará ( Moreira & Campos 2012, Cunha et al. 2015). Colombia: Cundinamarca (this work), Quindío, Valle del Cauca ( Morales & Molano 2008), Santander (this work). Suriname: Brokopondo ( Nieser 1970). Trinidad & Tobago ( Torre-Bueno 1926), Siparia ( Alkins-Koo 1990). Venezuela: Amazonas ( Floriano et al. 2017).

Notes. Specimens from Quindío and Valle del Cauca departments were mistakenly identified as H. sztolcmani Jaczewski, 1928 by Morales & Molano (2008). We present the first records of this species from the Colombian departments of Cundinamarca and Santander ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 7–8 ).
