Cryptocheilus sp.
Specimen data. BOYACÁ. Sotaquirá, Hueco, 1 abr 1969, J. R. Alba, (1m, ICN).
Comments. New record for South America. Cryptocheilus Panzer, 1806 is a cosmopolitan genus with six species described from the Nearctic Region and two from the Neotropical region: Cryptocheilus neotropicalis is found in Panama and Cryptocheilus santosi is found in Costa Rica and Panama (Cambra and Wahis 2005). This species does not fit the diagnosis of any of the Central American species. The specimen studied herein is similar to C. pallidipennis (Banks, 1912), but this species has Nearctic distribution (Townes 1957). A revision of the New World species of the genus is needed to determine if the studied specimen is an undescribed species or not.
