Material examined . 1♂ [Figure 3C], Colombia, Co ́ rdoba, Tierralta: TuisTuis, [8°2'2.881"N, 76°5'29.993"W], [178m], 3 Dec 2014, humid forest, manual collection, E GoogleMaps . Bedoya – Roqueme leg . (LEUC; OARA-096). Type material in the MACN, MNHN not examined .

Diagnosis. According to Ruiz & Brescovit (2008), the male H. albovittata (Figure 3C) is easily distinguished from other Helvetia species by the very long embolus, the form of the RTA and the presence of a depression on the retrolateral cymbium where the tip of the embolus is held in resting position (see Bedoya-Roqueme et al. 2018, figs. 6-11).

Natural history. The habitats of this species appear to be very diverse. The specimens of H. albovittata from Colombia have been found in mangrove forests and humid forests. Here we report a male from humid forest.

Distribution. Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Galapagos Islands, Netherlands Antilles, Paraguay.
