Abstract

The chelodesmid genus Carlopeltis Verhoeff, 1938 is revised. Currently, the genus contains the type species Carlopeltis alatus (Carl, 1914), know from Bolivar department, Carlopeltis goajirensis (Jeekel, 2009) stat. nov. ex Carlopeltis alatus goajirensis Jeekel, 2009 know from La Guajira, Tolima, and Meta departments, both redescribed here, and a new species is described: C. uraba n. sp. from Antioquia department; all from Colombia. A key and their distribution map for all three species of the genus are provided.
