Identification. Mesovelia amoena is parthenogenetic in the tropics of America and in Hawaii, where it was introduced ( Moreira et al. 2008). Therefore, our material consists solely of females, which could be determined by the characters: body brown and around 2.0 mm long, and the middle femur without spines on the posterior surface ( Moreira et al. 2008).

Distribution in the Colombian Caribbean region. Sucre (this work).
