Chirodamus paramicola Roig-Alsina, 1984

Specimen data.

Cundinamarca. 1♀, PNN Chingaza, 3,400 m, hand collection, Nov 1988, G.D. Amat (MPUJ).

Comments.

Roig-Alsina (1984) recognized five species mostly from southern South America, with one species, Chirodamus paramicola , in Venezuela and Colombia. The holotype and paratypes are from the Venezuelan Andes, and the single specimen from Colombia was collected in Nariño (southwestern Colombia) and deposited in London without further study. We found a new specimen from Chingaza Park, which slightly differs from the type series by having different fore leg coloration. The Colombian specimen studied here comprises a possible geographical and morphological bridge between the Merida (Venezuela) and Nariño specimens.
