Abstract
RODRIGUEZ, JUANITA; VON DOHLEN, CAROL D. and PITTS, JAMES P.. THE GENUS PSORTHASPIS (HYMENOPTERA: POMPILIDAE) IN COLOMBIA. Caldasia [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.2, pp.435-441. ISSN 0366-5232.
The biodiversity of spider wasps in Psorthapsis occurring in Colombia was examined in this study. Three species of this genus were found in northern and western Colombia, of which two represent new distributional records: Psorthaspis variegata and Psorthaspis connexa are recorded from Chocó and Magdalena, respectively. A neotype is established for Psorthapsis colombiae. The morphological variation, coupled with geographic distribution, precludes the division of P. variegata and P. connexa into subspecies. A discussion on the status of these subspecies is provided. A key to the members of the genus in Colombia also is presented.
