Choroterpes sp.

Although there are no described species of Choroterpes known from South America, we have two nymphs of a species of Choroterpes from Antioquia Province, Colombia, collected in 1983 by Humberto Moreno of Medellin University. This record is not unexpected based on several records of Choroterpes s.s. from Mexico ( Eaton 1892; Allen & Brusca 1973; Lugo­Ortiz & McCafferty 1996) and Costa Rica (Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad collections, verified by R.W. Flowers). These are the first confirmed specimens of Choroterpes from the continent of South America.
