Comments. Anacroneuria bifasciata was previously reported from three states (Aragua, Carabobo, Lara) and the Distrito Federal of Venezuela, in addition to two sites in Colombia ( Froehlich 2010). Only one of the Colombian sites is specifically known, and it lies within Antioquia Department in the Región Natural Caribe and the Cauca River drainage basin. The specimens listed above include the first reported from Falcón State, which is located in northwestern Venezuela in the Caribbean region . Parque Nacional Cueva de la Quebrada del Toro is the site of a noted underground stream.
