Iquitozelus couturieri Bérenger, 2003

Bérenger (2003) described I. couturieri, a new genus and species from Iquitos, Peru. The specimen examined here belongs to this species. However, its coloration differs slightly from the original description: the overall coloration (Fig. 47) is yellowish rather than ochre; the tibiae as well as the apex of the femora are reddish; and abdominal tergite IX is red with yellowish lateral margins, and the gonocoxites and gonapophyses VIII are yellow. These color differences as well as the wrinkled body surface point to a teneral specimen killed shortly after molting. I. couturieri is a new generic record from Colombia.
