Description

9. Xanthofreya albosignata (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1901), Figure 7

Cyrene albosignata F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1901; Freya albosignata Petrunkevitch 1911; Freya demarcata Chamberlin & Ivie 1936; Xanthofreya albosignata Edwards 2015

Material examined. 1♂ [Figure 7], Colombia, Co ́ rdoba, Tierralta: TuisTuis. This locality can be associated with approximate coordinates of [8°2'2.881"N, 76°5'29.993"W], [178m], 3 Dec 2014, humid forest, manual collection, E. Bedoya – Roqueme leg. (LEUC; OARA-090). Type material deposited in the MCZ, FDACS not examined.

Diagnosis. According to Edwards (2015) and Martinez (2017), males of X. albosignata (Figure 7A) can be identified by the presence of a flat embolus (Figure 7B), broad, and largely membranous on the edges, and a flattened prolateral ramus associated with the embolus tip (Figure 7 C-D).

Measurements (specimens from Colombia). One male: TL= 6.32; CL= 2.93; CW= 2.21; AL= 2.74; AERW= 2.26; PERW= 2.21; LOQ= 2.26; PMEP=0.36; eyes of the second row separated from the ALE by 0.35 mm and from the PLE by 0.42 mm.

Natural history. In Colombia Two species of Xanthofreya are known which, according to Martinez (2017), were collected in a tropical low-dry ecosystem and in a fragment of secondary forest (average relative humidity of 83.5%). Here we record X. albosignata in the humid tropical forest of the Department of Có rdoba, associated with low vegetation and at 178 meters above sea level.

Distribution. Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Panama.
