Additional paratypes: COLOMBIA: 1&amp;male;, 1&amp;female;, Risaralda, Municipio de Santuario, Vereda El Tambo, Finca El Triunfo, Río San Rafael low basin, 1450 m, N 05 <i>°</i> 05 <i>′</i> 33 <i>″</i>; W 075 <i>°</i> 57 <i>′</i> 47 <i>″</i>, 24 March 2007, light trap, W. Cardona, C. Cultid, G. Zabala, A. Laina, G. Cadena (MHN-ICN) 1&amp;female;, Risaralda, Municipio de Pereira, Parque Regional Natural Ucumarí, Estación La Pastora, Río Otún headwater basin, 2400 m, N 04 <i>°</i> 42 <i>′</i> 32 <i>″</i>, W 75 <i>°</i> 29 <i>′</i> 37 <i>″</i>, on vegetation, 11 March 2007, M. del C. Zúñiga, W. Cardona, G. Zabala, C. Cultid, (MEUV). <b>Adult habitus.</b> General color dark brown, patterned with yellow. Head with dark brown ocellar spot expanded anterolaterally along M-line; lappets dark brown (Fig. 21). Pronotum dark brown laterally and pale along median suture. Wings with a slight brown tint, veins dark brown with Sc, R and M very dark, C and costal crossveins paler. Legs banded, femora pale basally and dark brown apically, tibiae with yellow mesal and dark brown basal and apical bands. <b>Male.</b> Forewing length 11.5 mm. Hammer thimble shaped, height greater than basal diameter. Aedeagal apex short, scoop shaped in lateral aspect (Fig. 25) and bearing obscure membranous ventral lobes; slender apical area widest at mid length and offset from shoulders by slight basal constriction accented with dark sclerotization (Fig. 24). Aedeagal hooks chelate, dorsal keel composed of two close-set, fragmented ridges (Fig. 26). <b>Female.</b> Forewing length 15 mm. Subgenital plate with four subequal lobes, median notch larger than lateral notches. Setal patch of sternum 9 sparse mesally in stem region and denser posterolaterally (Fig. 22). <b>Egg.</b> Spindle shaped with small button collar and smooth chorion (Fig. 23). <b>Larva.</b> Unknown. <b>Etymology.</b> The species name, used as a noun in apposition, refers to the mountain range at the area of the type locality. <b>Diagnosis.</b> This species is a member of the <i>Anacroneuria aymara</i> species group (Stark &amp; Sivec 1998; Zúñiga &amp; Stark 2002). The aedeagus is most similar to that of <i>A. farallonensis</i> Rojas &amp; Baena but the apex is not expanded as in that species and the fragmented bead-like aspect of the keel lines is distinctive. <b>Ecological notes.</b> The type locality is in the Cordillera Occidental and is part of Región Natural Andina of Colombia on the low part of “ Macizo de Tatamá ”. This second-order stream is about 5-8 m wide and 0.30-0.60 m deep, with a mixed substrate composed of boulders, stones, patches of gravel and sands, in riffle zones with high slope. Water temperature was 15°C and the air 18°C at the time of collection. Natural riparian vegetation is present and the water quality is in optimum environmental condition. The specimen was collected at the start of dry season.
