The cladoceran Parvalona parva (Daday, 1905) (Anomopoda: Chydoridae) was found associated with the aquatic macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms in Ciénaga de Chilloa-Magdalena Department, Colombia. It represents the first record of this species in Colombia and this species’ range is extended to northern South America. A brief descriptions of this taxon based on Colombian material is given.

In the course of research conducted on Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) in Colombia, Ramphocorixa rotundocephala Hungerford, 1927 was collected in Güitoque Lake, outside the town of Gachantivá, Boyacá. The species was identified from the adult males found there. This species of aquatic insect occurs mostly in Central and North America, but there are also two records from Venezuela in South America. This is the first record of this species and its genus for Colombia. This finding increases this species’ known distribution on the continent and the diversity of hemipterans in northern South America.

A New Species

The genus Megarthrus Curtis 1829 with about 139 species described around the world, is the largest of the subfamily Proteininae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) (Cuccodoro 2011). Megarthrus is distributed worldwide (Cuccodoro 1999) but it is apparently more diverse in the Holartic region (Navarrete-Heredia et al. 2002). However, the South American fauna is underestimated because many of the collected specimens are not yet described (Cuccodoro 2011). Newton et al. (2005) cited the genus as probable in Colombia because some species are known from Central America and northern South America, but until now, no species has been published from Colombia. Therefore, M. andinus sp. nov. represents the first record of the genus and subfamily for this country.

Scinax rostratus is a large species of the S. rostratus group and has an extensive distribution throughout northern South America. We provide the first record of S. rostratus from the state of Roraima (municipality of Cantá), which fills a previously assumed gap in this species’ distribution. We also describe the species’ advertisement call from this locality, providing further notes on the call emission pattern and fine scale temporal and spectral structure.

I report an aberrant record of Hoatzin Opisthocomus hoazin in the Andes of Lara, Venezuela. During field work in July 2011 in the Yacambú National Park, in an area of premontane cloud forest, I observed and photographed an individual of O. hoazin in El Blanquito reservoir. This is the first record of the species in Lara State, and apparently the highest record of the species in northern South America.

During research in the Tirimbina Biological Reserve, on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica, we captured adult specimens and reared larvae of the dragonfly Elga leptostyla Ris, 1911, which belongs to the Libellulidae. This species was previously reported only from southern Panama to northern South America. Therefore, this is the first record of the species and genus from Costa Rica, increasing the number of Libellulidae species recorded in the country to 95. This species’ known distribution is northwards.

We present the first Ecuadorian record of Moustached Puffbird Malacoptila mystacalisbased on observations, supported by photographs, videos and audio recordings, of four individuals at El Chical, northwest Carchi province. This record represents a southwards range extension in northern South America. We describe the habitats where two pairs where found in the Dracula Reserve, discuss distinctive field marks and analyze vocalizations, characteristics to separate from White-whiskered Puffbird M. panamensis,withwhich it might overlap in the lowlands and foothills. This record is not entirely unexpected given the collection of specimens in Ricaurte and Guayacana, Nariño Department, Colombia, only 39.5 km north of El Chical.

Thomas' Mastiff bat, Eumops maurus (Thomas, 1901) is known from northern South America in Ecuador, Venezuela and Guiana and so it probably occurs in Brazil, yet it has not been reported. Here, we present the first record for E. maurus in Brazil. Captures were from the Brazilian states of Tocantins and Goiás (northern and midwestern Cerrado region of the country), and São Paulo (southeastern Brazil, Atlantic Forest). In the first two locations, all bats were roosting in palm leaves while in the later location, a single animal was found alive in a 15th-storey apartment in the city of São Paulo. This bat inhabits savannas with swamps dominated by the palm Mauritia flexuosa (buriti) and gallery forests. This record is the first of E. maurus in an urban area. Brazilian specimens are apparently larger than those from northern South America.
