Descriptive texts are based on terminology given by Scott (1990). Standard techniques were used for making dissections of the genitalia, which have been placed in microvials attached to the specimens and numbered using the serial numbers of Zs. Bálint at the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM). Type locality descriptions and behavioral comments are based on the notes of Mr Dahners (Cali, Colombia), who discovered the species and collected the type material.
