Allotettix peruvianus (Bolívar, 1887)

Comments. This species has a doubtful wide distribution in South America including Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil (Amazon); the authors suggest that several of these records could correspond actually to similar or undescribed species.

In Colombia A. peruvianus has been recorded in northern (Magdalena and Santander) and central (Cundinamarca) regions ( Hebard 1923, 1933, Cadena-Castañeda & Cardona 2015), and is here recorded for the first time for Nariño. The specimens herein studied were identified by comparing them with the holotype .

Specimens examined. 1 female ( Fig. 8 ) (PSO-CZ).
