Diagnosis. Regarding the species of this group, we noted that Metrodora undulata Cadena-Castañeda and Cardona-Granda, 2015, from Colombia, is not a member of Metrodora Bolívar, 1887, but in fact represents a species of Cota. The holotype of M. undulata has head and pronotal morphology corresponding to members of Cota. Thus, the new combination Cota undulata (Cadena-Castañeda and Cardona-Granda, 2015) n. comb. should be used when referring to this species. It is morphologically very close to C. saxosa and can be distinguished from C. saxosa by a more rounded horn-like pronotum, with lateral lobes directed sidewards and subquadrate (Fig. 21).
