description: <i>Anacroneuria paleta</i> Stark <i>Anacroneuria paleta</i> Stark 1995:236. Holotype &amp;male; (USNM), 4 km S Santo Domingo, Merida State, Venezuela <i>Anacroneuria paleta</i>: Stark et al., 1999:41. <i>Anacroneuria paleta</i>: Maldonado et al., 2002:227. <b>Material examined.</b> <b>Colombia</b>: [Cesar Department]: Socorpa Mission, Sierra de Perija, 1350 m, 20-21 August 1968, B. Malkin, 8&amp;male; (CAS). Same location, 10- 22 August 1968, B. Malkin, 16&amp;male; (CAS). [Magdalena Department.], San Sebastian de Rabago, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, 2000 m, 1-10 April 1968, B. Malkin, 7&amp;male;, 1&amp;female; (CAS). <b>Venezuela</b>: Lara State, Parque Nacional Dinira, Quebrada Buenos Aires, 9 <b>°</b> 36.407’N, 70 <b>°</b> 04.178’W, 1850 m, 18-19 June 2001, Holzenthal, Blahnik, Paprocki, Cressa, 3&amp;male; (pinned, BPSC). <b>Comments.</b> This species is known from specimens collected in Barinas and Mérida states, Venezuela (Stark 1995; Maldonado et al. 2002) and is also recorded from Santander Department, Colombia (Stark et al. 1999) and Trujillo State, Venezuela (Stark 1999), however the Colombian specimens from Santander figured in Stark et al. (1999) appear to have a shorter apical projection of the aedeagus and the keel is shown as an obscure V-shaped structure (Figs. 136-138 in Stark et al. 1999). The Colombian specimens reported in this study have a narrow, relatively long keel and the apical aedeagal projection is more slender and slightly longer than those shown for other populations. The records given above include the first Colombian specimens from Cesar and Magdalena Departments, the first from Serrania de Perijá, and the sixth <i>Anacroneuria</i> species to be reported from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Zúñiga et al. 2013). The new records from Lara State are from a national park in the foothills of the northern mountain range of the Venezuelan Andes. Streams in this region drain into several basins, including the Orinoco River and Lake Maracaibo.
