Cephalops (Semicephalops) inpaganus De Meyer, 1994: 14 ; De Meyer, 1996: 36; Rodriguez & Rafael, 2012: 16.

Diagnosis. Pedicel brown to black, postpedicel yellow; coxae brown to black, wing brown infuscated, anal lobe narrower basally, abdomen with ground color dark brown, shiny, tergite 1 sparsely gray pruinose, tergite 2 brown to black pruinose basally; surstyli asymmetrical, both surstyli with a lobe on inner margin; apex of phallic guide short, with acute tip and distinct submedian lobe dorsally, backwards directed; phallus unbranched, with leaf-shaped membranous projections ( Fig. 105 ).

Intraspecific variability. Rafael (1990) provided a complete description and illustrations of the Brazilian holotype; however, we found variations in the Colombian material. Because of this, we provide a comparison of the variations between the Colombian and Brazilian specimens (between parenthesis, when comparable). MALE. Length with 2.3 mm (versus 3.1 mm in the holotype); postcranium gray pruinose laterally and brown pruinose dorsally ( Figs 94–95 ); pedicel brown ( Fig. 96 ) (versus pedicel black); scutum and scutellum brown ( Figs 95, 97 ) (versus scutum and scutellum black); wing with membrane slightly brown infuscate ( Fig. 98 ); coxae brown ( Fig. 94 ) (versus coxae black); trochanters light brown ( Fig. 94 ) (versus trochanters yellow); femora yellow, except in proximal third, light yellow, and short setae ventrally ( Figs 94–95 ) (versus femora entirely yellow, and without setae ventrally); tibiae light brown, with bases and apices light yellow, with a row of long and fine yellow setae posterolaterally ( Fig. 94 ); tergites 3–5 dark brown, shiny, with inconspicuous scattered setae ( Figs 94–95, 99 ) (versus tergites 3–4 with narrow posterior band dark brown to black pruinose); tergites and sternites 6 and 7 as in Fig. 100 . Surstyli asymmetrical, shorter than epandrium, completely setose, both surstyli with a lobe on inner margin, left surstylus slightly shorter and thin ( Fig. 101 ); both surstyli with tips acute and downward directed when seen in lateral view ( Figs 102–103 ); gonopods subsymmetrical, right gonopod slightly thinner than left ( Fig. 104 ); apex of phallic guide short, with acute tip and distinct submedian lobe dorsally, backwards directed ( Fig. 105 ); ejaculatory apodeme pinshaped, with margins somewhat straight ( Fig. 106 ); phallus unbranched, with leaf-shaped membranous projections ( Fig. 105 ).

Examined material. COLOMBIA, Antioquia, Envigado, separador vial sector bodegas Éxito-Pirelli, Zona industrial, Jama , 6,16913N / 75,60201W, 15.ago[viii]–01.sep[ix].2017, J. Torres-Toro, A.L Montoya (1 ♂ CEUA – 100905) (photographed specimen) .

Geographical distribution. Brazil; Colombia (Antioquia) (new record) ( Fig. 108 ).

Habitat. The specimens were collected in urban areas at Envigado, in the department of Antioquia, in the Andean region of Colombia.
