(Figs. 1B, 2 D–E, 5B, 6B, 8B)
Diagnosis. Fore tarsomeres 2–5 slightly flattened; hind femur on ventral surface without protuberance with 3 strong av on mid half and 2 pv on mid half; hind coxa setulose on posterior margin
Description. Holotype male (Fig. 1B)
Head: eye densely setulose. Frontal vitta velvety black, pollinose. 16 fr. 1 pair of oc, proclinate and developed, surrounded by 3 less developed setulae. Fronto–orbital plate black, greyish pollinose. Parafacial bare, wide ventrally, greyish pollinose. Gena brownish and setulose. Scape black, 1 short dorsal setae reaching pedicel. Pedicel black pollinose, dorsal setae developed, one is stronger. Postpedicel black, golden pilose, 2 times the length of pedicel. Arista black, with short pubescence, rays shorter than width of base of arista. Palpus black, filiform.
Thorax: black; scutum without vittae. Acr 2–3:3–4, irregular rows. Dc 2:3. Pprn 2, developed, setulose area. Pra 2, seta closest to suture longest. Proepimeron setulose. Katespisternum setulose on ventral surface.
Wing: brownish, with superior third, between C vein and superior half of R 2+3 vein darkened. Calypter whitish. Haltere brown and lightened base.
Legs: black with tarsi black and pulvilli brownish. Fore femur setulose on posterior surface; ventral surface bare. Fore tibia with 1 strong pre–apical d, 1 sub–median and 1 apical p, 1 v. Fore tarsomeres 2–5 slightly flattened (Fig. 2D). Mid femur lost. Hind coxa with 2 setulae on posterior margin. Hind femur on ventral surface without protuberance (Fig. 2E); 1 row of ad, setae running towards dorsal surface (Fig. 2E); 3 strong av on mid half; 2 pv on mid half. Hind tibia with 1 developed sub-median d and 1 pre–apical; 1 long and developed sub–median ad; 1 median av (Fig. 2E).
Abdomen: elongate, brown with long and developed setae. Sternite 1 densely setulose. Sternite 5 (Fig. 5B). Terminalia (Fig. 6B): epandrium almost as long as wide, projected downwards and covering part of the surstylus, short and weak setae on basal half, in the middle part of the epandrium and downwards with bifid projection next to the cercal plate; surstylus widened at the base and pointed at the apex, strongly merged with epandrium; cercal plate elongated and pointed apically, with short weak setae along the plate, fused from de second third; bacilliform absent.
Female: unknown.
Biology. Label information indicates that it was found near decomposing matter, in the Páramo in the West Cordillera in Colombia. Nothing else is known about its habits or biology.
Etymology. Name in apposition. The species epithet refers to the Barí indigenous people, sometimes called Motilones, that inhabit the forest of the Catatumbo river, between Colombia and Venezuela.
Type material. Holotype male (CEUA). COLOMBIA: Antioquia. San José de la montaña. El Congo /10– 15\set\2011/ 3000m./ L. Rios /VSR pez. Trampa 5/ Voucher DG 002.
The holotype is not in perfect condition because it was used to extract DNA. It was not macerated, but rather immersed in Proteinase K. The individual has 1 foreleg and 1 posterior leg (without tarsi). The voucher code is DG002.
Distribution. Colombia: department of Antioquia (Central Cordillera, Andean region) (Fig. 8B).
