Ghilianella mirabilis McAtee & Malloch, 1925

Ghilianella Spinola, 1835 has two subgenera and 57 described species (Wygodzinsky 1966; Maldonado 1990). It is easily recognized by the laterally acute prolonged apical last abdominal segments, as illustrated by Wygodzinsky (1966). G. mirabilis has been recorded from Brazil and Bolivia (Maldonado 1990). The previously known data and the Colombian specimens indicate that this species is restricted to the Amazon basin. The specimens examined here are a new record from Colombia.
