Coniceromyia reina Kung & Brown

( Figs. 120, 181 , 233–234 , 301–302 )

Coniceromyia reina Kung & Brown, 2001: 268 , fig. 2.

Diagnosis (male). Characteristic wing pattern, with maculation adjacent to the entire wing margin, or at least to the anterior and apical margin.

Material examined. Holotype ♂, COLOMBIA: Boyacá: SFF Iguaque , 5.69ºN, 73.45ºW, 16.iii–1.iv.2000, Malaise trap, 3450 m, P. reina col. ( LACM) . Paratypes: 4♂, same data as holotype . New material: COLOMBIA: 6♂, Cudinamarca: PNN Chingaza : Charrascales , 4.52ºN, 73.75ºW, 22.ii–15.iii.2002, Malaise trap, 2990 m, E. Raigoso col. ( LACM) .

Hypopygium description ( Fig. 120). Hypopygium similar to that of C. bilineata , differing by the left epandrial process with dorsal lobe and subepandrial microtrichose projection.

Geographical distribution. Known from two localities in Central Colombia.

Comments. The macula on the wing of the six non-type males examined does not reach the postero-basal part of wing ( Fig. 234 ), what differs from the holotype and from the remaining material previously described of this species ( Figs. 233 ). This was considered a variation in Coniceromyia reina , not a separate species, since these males do not differ significantly in any of the remaining features.
