Abstract

At present 17 species of Tricorythodes Ulmer are known from South America. Two new species are described here from Colombia: T. uniandinus sp. nov. from nymphs and imagines of both sexes, and T. capuccinorum sp. nov. from males and females imagines. A brief diagnosis and illustrations to distinguish both species from the other of the genus are given.
