( Figs 1, 2 , 5 , 8 )

Langsdorfia bellaria Dognin, 1911: 58 .

Material examined. Holotype (♂): Colombia, Quindío Department, Páramo, 3800 m (Genitalia slide by P. Gentili USNM 85.177 ) ( USNM); 5 ♂♂, Colombia, Tolima, Cerro Bravo , La Libia, 5°06 ′ 21 " N 75°16 ′ 22 " W, 3000 m, 03-04.XI.2015, leg. Viktor Sinyaev & Mildred Márquez (Genital preparation №142 coll. Naydenov A.E.) ( RYB).

Redescription. Relatively big size, length of fore wing 25−28 mm. Fore wing with pattern of brown strokes along all costal edge length, wing light-brown from root to postdiscal zone, with big dark-brown spots at root and postdiscally, forming uneven wavy torn bands; from postdiscal area to apex wing white, semi-transparent, with poorly expressed pattern of brown spots radially, fringe mottled: brown at veins, light-yellow between veins. Hind wing white, semi-transparent, without pattern, poorly expressed pattern of brown strokes along costal edge, fringe mottled: brown at veins, light-yellow between veins.

Male genitalia. Uncus long, basally robust, clavately extended in distal third, apically sharp; tegumen robust; gnathos arms not fused, of medium length, gradually narrowing to apex; valve robust, apically lanceolate, costal edge basally with large long harpe (equal to uncus in length) with relatively smooth edges, basally very wide, smoothly narrowing from base to apex; juxta scaphoid, with pair of long thick lateral processes; saccus small, tapered, phallus shorter than valve, thin, slightly curved in medium third, vesica aperture in dorso-apical position, about ¼ of phallus in length, vesica without cornuti.

Female. Unknown.

Diagnosis. Externally, the new species is mostly close to L. illapai from which it clearly differs in the reduced pattern on the fore wing postdiscally, submarginally and marginally; more narrow apex of the valve, and the harpe smoothly narrowing from the base to the apex.

Distribution. Colombia (Quindío and Tolima Departments).
