Discussion. This series of twelve specimens is similar to those reported earlier from this site by Stark & Zúñiga (2003), however in this same collection from “La Pastora” are eight males whose head pattern matches that of A. socapa Stark & Zúñiga, but whose aedeagal features are like those of the males listed above. Four additional “intermediate” males were collected at another site, Natural National Park Los Nevados, El Jordán at 3100 meters, in Risaralda, and three males with the opposite condition (A. socapa aedeagus but without head markings) were collected at two additional sites in Risaralda (reported under A. socapa). The “La Pastora” site specimens also include several typical males of A. socapa. This suggests the possibility of hybridization at sites in Risaralda, or, perhaps the head pattern character is less reliable than previously thought.
