ABDOMEN (Figs 1–2, 6). Ground color velvety brown, with conspicuous scattered setae; tergites 1–5 brown, brown pruinose, with distal margin gray pruinose dorsolaterally, interrupted medially; tergite 1 with five black and long setae laterally; tergites and sternites 6 and 7 as in Fig. 7. Syntergosternite 8 dark brown, gray-brown pruinose, shorter than tergite 5, with a membranous area apically (Fig. 6). TERMINALIA (Figs 7–13). Epandrium and surstyli brown (Fig. 8). Surstyli (Figs 8–10) subsymmetrical, slightly shorter than epandrium, with some differentiated black setae scattered dorsally in dorsal view. Both surstyli thickened basally and medially, thin apically, with inner margins slightly straight, outer margin curved, and apices acute inward-directed in dorsal view; right surstylus slightly shorter than left (Fig. 8); left surstylus with apex sinuous, right surstylus with apex truncated in lateral view (Figs 9–10). Gonopods asymmetrical, right gonopod slightly thicker than left in ventral view (Fig. 11). Apex of phallic guide stout, with apex hook-shaped, upper margin slightly sinuous, with a tuft of small setae dorsocentrally in lateral view (Fig. 12). Ejaculatory apodeme parasol-shaped (Fig. 13). Phallus trifid, thin, with ejaculatory ducts distinctly separated only in distal half (Figs 11–12). Female Unknown. Geographical distribution Colombia (Boyacá) (Fig. 53). Habitat The specimens were collected in the Santuario de Fauna y Flora Iguaque reserve, where the vegetation is composed of cloud Andean forests of the cordillera of the Northeast region of Colombia. Remarks Based on males and due to the shape of the surstyli, D. colombiensis sp. nov. (Fig. 8) is similar in appearance to D. gibber sp. nov. (Fig. 21) but differs from the latter in having the tergites 1–5 brown, brown pruinose, with distal margin gray pruinose dorsolaterally, slightly interrupted medially (Figs 1–2, 6) (vs tergite 1 completely brown pruinose; tergites 2–4 with distal margins yellowish brown pruinose; tergite 5 dark brown, brown pruinose dorsally, yellowish brown pruinose laterally in D. gibber sp. nov.; Figs 14–15, 19); left surstylus with apex sinuous in lateral view (Fig. 9) (vs left surstylus with apex slightly rounded in lateral view; Fig. 22); apex of phallic guide with upper margin slightly sinuous and tuft of small setae dorsocentrally (Fig. 12) (vs apex of phallic guide with a translucid lobes lateroapically and a stout rigid lobe dorsally; Fig. 25); phallus with ejaculatory ducts distinctly separated only in distal half (Fig. 12) (vs phallus with ejaculatory ducts distinctly separated only in distal fifth; Fig. 25).
