Abstract

A third Neotropical species of the genus Docosia Winnertz is described from the Colombian Andes. Three males and four females of D. adusta sp. nov. from Cundinamarca, Colombia, collected at 3600m elevation were examined. Detailed illustrations of the male and female terminalia are presented and morphological differences in relation to those of other species of the genus are discussed. The relationships between Holarctic and Neotropical species within Docosia are discussed and overlap of circumantarctic, tropical, and Nearctic elements in the northern Andes is considered.

Résumé

Nous décrivons une troisième espèce néotropicale du genre Docosia Winnertz des Andes de Colombie à l'examen de trois mâles et quatre femelles de D. adusta sp. nov. de Cundinamarca, Colombie, récoltés à 3600m. Nous présentons des illustrations détaillées des derniers segments abdominaux du mâle et de la femelle et discutons des différences morphologiques avec les autres espèces du genre. Nous traitons des relations entre les espèces holarctiques et néotropicales au sein de Docosia, en particulier du chevauchement des éléments circumantarctiques, tropicaux et néarctiques dans le nord des Andes.
