Description

Stenochironomus (Petalopholeus) nudipupa Borkent, 1984

Material examined. 2 ♂, COLOMBIA, Caquetá, Belen de los Andaquies, Vereda El Porvenir, Parque Municipal La Resaca, 01°26’17’’S, 75°52’51’’W, 441 m a.s.l. 23–25.ii.2023, Malaise trap, leg. Y. Ramos-Pastrana (LEUA).

Distribution. The species was originally described based on material from Costa Rica, Venezuela, and Ecuador (Borkent 1984), and subsequently recorded from the Brazilian Amazon (Reis et al. 2013). The present study provides the first record of S. nudipupa from Colombia, based on material collected in a transitional zone between the Amazon and the Andes.
