Treatment

Comments. Distributed from Central America to southwestern Colombia, and possibly northern Ecuador ( Rentz 1983, Cadena-Castañeda 2014). Previously recorded in Colombia from Chocó and Valle del Cauca departments, and is here recorded for Nariño for the first time. Also in this case, former records of this species in Boyacá, Cundinamarca, and possibly Tolima departments ( Chamorro-Rengifo et al. 2011), correspond to O. andinus Cadena-Castañeda, 2014 .

Specimens examined. 2 males ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 13 – 16 ) (PSO-CZ).
