Aegidium colombianum Westwood
Original description: Westwood, 1845
Type locality: Colombia.
Type depository: OUMNH.
Diagnosis. Aegidium columbianum can be separated from other Aegidium species by the shape of the parameres and endophallic armature consisting of two strongly sclerotized hook-shaped sclerites and one asymmetrical y-shaped sclerite.
Distribution. The distribution range of this species needs clarification. The specimens with exact locality data originated from Caracas, Venezuela. Most of the specimens, however bear a label “Colombia” or no locality label . The record from Chile is doubtful.
