Sosius foliaceus Champion, 1899

Figs. 14A, B

Distribution: This species was known from Mexico (Veracruz and Yucatán), Panama (Bugaba) (Champion 1899), and Brazil (Gil-Santana 2007). It is a new generic and species record from Colombia.

Remarks: Sosius Champion, 1899 was revised by Maldonado & Carpintero (1993), including two very similar species, S. foliaceus and S. australis Maldonado & Carpintero, 1993 . The examined female specimen fits better the description of S. foliaceus given the structure and dimensions of the pronotum, which is almost as long as wide (length/width = 0.93). The examined specimen was found preying over other insects on a coffee plantation (Figs. 14A–B).
