Abstract
Five hitherto known species of Venezolanoconnus Franz are distributed in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. This number is doubled by describing V. meridanus sp. n. (Venezuela), V. minimus sp. n. (Venezuela), V. bejumanus sp. n. (Venezuela), V. colombianus sp. n. (Colombia), and V. ecuadoranus sp. n. (Ecuador). All nominal species occur within the American Cordillera, mainly in the northern Andes.
