Abstract
Dolichomitus Smith is a widely distributed pimpline genus with more than seventy known species. There are eight species previously reported from South America: D. annulicornis (Cameron), D. bivittatus Townes, D. hypermeces Townes, D. jatai Loffredo & Penteado-Dias, D. longicauda Smith, D. megalourus (Morley), D. moacyri Loffredo & Penteado-Dias and D. zonaius (Cresson). In this paper, we describe five new species: D. mariajosae Araujo & Padua, sp. nov., D. menai Araujo & Padua, sp. nov., D. orejuelai Araujo & Padua, sp. nov., D. pimmi Araujo & Padua, sp. nov., and D. rendoni Araujo & Padua, sp. nov. All have been collected in cloud forests in the Colombian tropical Andes. An illustrated key to the South American species of the genus is also provided.Keywords
