Distribution.

COLOMBIA: Valle del Cauca ( Soula 2006).

Types.

The following specimen is deposited at CCECL. 1 ♂ holotype: "(Colombie) Cali 06/92//Holotype 2006 Strigidia santidomini caliensis Soula Soula" (47030126). Genitalia card-mounted underneath the holotype. Box 4618654 SOULA.

Remarks.

Soula (2006) described the new subspecies based on its slightly longer body, slightly longer clypeus that is more emarginate, punctures that are larger and deeper, and more robust tarsomeres. He stated that the male parameres are very near the nominotypical species. The subspecies is, evidently, described based on a single male specimen (the holotype) from Cali, Colombia (label date “06/92”).
