Adneella columbiensis (Carvalho & Gomes, 1971)

( Figs. 7 , 43–44 )

Adparafurius columbiensis Carvalho & Gomes, 1971a: 461 (original description).

Adneella columbiensis: Carvalho, 1989b: 482 (new combination).

Material examined. COLOMBIA. Cundinamarca: 1 ♂, Gachetá , 1745 m, 4°49’N, 73°39’W, net sweeping, herbaceous trail, ix.2012 (C. Cabra) ( UNAB 606 ) ; 1 ♀, Tena, Laguna Pedro Palo , 1384 m, 4°39’N, 74°27’W, 5. viii.1995 ( UNAB 606 ) ; 1?, Tibirita , 1980 m, 5°3’N, 73°30’W, 9.xi.1996 (J. Serrani) ( UNAB 606 ) .

Diagnosis. Head dorsum yellow, sometimes with a black median spot. Antennal segment I and II black. Pronotum yellow sometimes with a black spot posterior to the pronotal calli. Scutellum yellow with a lateral spot black. Cuneus yellowish with lateral and inner margins black. Circular spot near the inner side of cuneal fracture black. Antennal segment II/antennal segment I length ratio less than 1.5. Body length 6.70–8.50 mm. Right paramere ( Fig. 43 ) with basal process straight; body tubular and curved; sensory lobe absent; apical process directed toward the basal process and gradually terete. Left paramere ( Fig. 44 ) with basal process straight; body wide and slightly concave; sensory lobe absent; apical process transverse to the body and gradually terete.

Associated/host plants. Unknown.

Distribution. Colombia (Cundinamarca) ( Carvalho & Gomes 1971a).

Comments. Both the black median spot on head dorsum and the black spot posterior to the pronotal calli are not mentioned in the original description of the species; however, we record these features herein as they are present in all specimens we studied and are included in Carvalho’s personal notes (unpublished documents once housed in the National Museum of Brazil, MNRJ). Specimens of A. columbiensis in the original description ranged 7.50–8.50 mm long ( Carvalho & Gomes 1971a). Specimens in the present work are 6.70–7.50 mm; hence, length ranges are 6.70–8.50 mm.
