Abstract

The genus Apotropina Hendel is poorly known. In Colombia only one species registered. In this study, we describe three new species from Reserva Natural y Ecoturística La Ruidosa, Colombia: A. longicerci sp. nov., A. ruidosa sp. nov. and A. similis sp. nov. The three species are illustrated and identification key and occurrence map for all Colombian species are presented.
