During our visit to the ICN, we were able to examine the types of several Rhagovelia species described by Padilla-Gil. After thoroughly studying this material, we noticed that these descriptions and the poorly prepared accompanying drawings can be very far from the reality. The measurements provided in the descriptions are particularly problematic and are always distinctly greater than those we obtained from the specimens. Finally, male proctigers and parameres can also be very different from those depicted in the descriptions, and not necessarily drawn from their usual perspectives, i.e. dorsally for proctigers and laterally for parameres. Considering these issues, the first synonymy that we must propose is between R. aguaclara and R. colombiana . After examining the types of both species and additional material, we found no significant differences between them, only minor coloration variations that are common to occur intraspecifically in this group. The differences in the paramere shape of the two species (compare Polhemus &amp; Manzano 1992: Fig. 53 and Padilla-Gil 2010: Fig. 7) are due to problems in the positioning of the structure and preparation of the drawings by Padilla-Gil (2010).</p><p>Type material examined.

Specimens from Ecuador studied by Bacon (1956) have 8–10 small spines on the hind femur, instead of the typical 4–5 spines (De Kort-Gommers &amp; Nieser 1969). The unusual number of spines also occurs in some Colombian male individuals, sometimes in only one of the two hind legs.</p><p>Distribution. Colombia: Antioquia (this work), Boyacá (this work), Caldas (this work), Caquetá (this work), Chocó (this work), Cundinamarca (Padilla-Gil 2015), Putumayo (Padilla-Gil 2015, Padilla-Gil 2016, Padilla-Gil 2019a, Padilla-Gil 2019b), Quindío (this work) (Fig. 18A). Costa Rica (Hungerford 1939). Ecuador (Gould 1931). Grenada (Uhler 1894). Martinique (De Kort-Gommers &amp; Nieser 1969). Panama (Kirkaldy 1899). St. Lucia (Bass 2010). St. Vincent &amp; Grenadines (Kirkaldy &amp; Torre-Bueno 1909). Trinidad &amp; Tobago (De Kort-Gommers &amp; Nieser 1969). Venezuela (Kirkaldy 1899). Listed from Mexico by Kirkaldy &amp; Torre-Bueno (1909), but this record is far from other occurrences of R. angustipes and needs verification. Recorded from Puerto Rico by Wolcott (1924) and Wolcott (1936), but identification was later corrected to R. collaris Burmeister, 1835 by Wolcott (1941) (Fig. 24A).</p><p>Comments. Padilla-Gil (2015) compared her new species R. jagua with R. tantilla and R. pacifica (= R. tantilla, new synonym), but not with R. angustipes . After examining the types of R. jagua and several series of R. angustipes from Costa Rica (Moreira et al. 2015) and Colombia (this work), we must propose the synonymy between both species. Although the male of R. jagua displays eight spines on the hind femur, instead of the usual 4–5 found in most individuals of R. angustipes, such variation had already been reported for the latter species in the literature (De Kort-Gommers &amp; Nieser 1969). Other features typical of R. angustipes, such as body and leg measurements, the male hind tibia armed only with an apical spur, and the female with shiny black spots on the last 4 abdominal mediotergites are present in the types of R. jagua . Rhagovelia angustipes is herein recorded for the first time from Colombia, which is not unexpected due to its known distribution from Costa Rica and the Lesser Antilles south to Ecuador.</p><p>Type material examined.

Colombia: Boyacá (Fig. 23C).</p><p>Comments. Rhagovelia boyacensis sp. nov. is a large species superficially similar to R. cardia, R. cimarrona, R. gastrotricha and R. tenuipes, because of the elongated and sinuous male hind femur. The body length of ~ 3.90 mm in the male and ~ 4.40 mm in the female immediately distinguishes the new species from R. tenuipes, in which body length is ~ 3.20 mm in the male and ~ 3.70 in the female. The abundant long black setae on the legs (Figs. 7C, 8C) separates the new species from all of the above, as well as the female abdominal laterotergites strongly elevated, almost touching at apex of last segment, which bears abundant brown setae posteriorly (Fig. 7C), and the paramere shape (Fig. 19G).</p><p>Etymology. This species is named after the department in which it was first collected.</p><p>Type material examined.

When describing R. tricoma, Padilla-Gil (2015) only compared the male hind femur and paramere of this new species with R. rosensis . The former species is indeed distinct from the latter, but a thorough comparison between the types of R. tricoma and R. calceola showed that they are synonyms. The shape, relative length and armature of the male hind femur are essentially the same in the two species, as well as other features such as the body length, shiny black spots located centrally on dorsum of abdominal segments VII–VIII, shape of paramere and shape of female abdominal laterotergites.

Abdominal sterna without carina; VII with shiny brown mark.</p><p>Comments. When describing R. carina, Padilla-Gil (2015) compared it with R. cardia and R. espriella (= R. rosensis, new synonym). According to this author, R. carina could be distinguished from R. cardia by the absence of a heart-shaped shiny black spot on the mesonotum (present in the latter), the male hind femur 7.3 times as long as wide (7.6 in the latter), and by the shape of the paramere. The mesonotum of the types of R. cardia deposited in the ICN is slightly more bare and reflective than in most Colombian species of the angustipes complex, but a heartshaped shiny black spot could not be observed. Evident shiny black mesonotal areas, similar to those that commonly occur on the abdominal mediotergites of species of the complex, are found, for example, in R. calopa (Fig. 5E) and R. sabrina Drake, 1958, but not in R. cardia . The mentioned difference in the length / width ratio of the male hind femur between R. carina and R. cardia (ca. 4%) is very small and can be regarded as intraspecific variation. The development of the hind femur in male Rhagovelia is related to sexual selection and can be quite variable in a single species, with more extreme cases occurring in the collaris and robusta complexes (Crumiére et al. 2019, Magalhães 2019). The differences in paramere shape between R. carina and R. cardia (compare Padilla-Gil 2015: Fig. 30 and Fig. 31) are due to innapropriate preparation of the drawings. The actual paramere of R. cardia (Fig. 19J) is more similar to that drawn for R. carina by Padilla-Gil (2015: Fig. 30). Considering that these differences are either misinterpretations or of minor importance for species discrimination in the angustipes complex, and that no other major differences have been found between the types of both species, we propose the synonymy between R. carina and R. cardia . As can be seen below, both were described from the same area in southern Colombia.</p><p>Distribution.

Ecuador (Gould 1931). Peru (Drake &amp; Harris 1935) (Fig. 25C).</p><p>Comments. Rhagovelia longipes is one of the few species of the angustipes complex in which spines are lacking in the hind femora of males and females. The other species that share this feature are R. caunapi; R. danpolhemi Moreira, Pacheco-Chaves &amp; Cordeiro, 2015; R. festae Kirkaldy, 1899; R. guachiconoense, R. imitatrix Bacon, 1948; and R. magdalena . Characteristics distinguishing these species, except for R. caunapi and R. guachiconoense, were detailed by Moreira et al. (2015). When describing R. magdalena, Padilla-Gil (2011) only compared its paramere with that of R. longipes, stating that in the latter species it would be sharply pointed. However, this is incorrect and the drawing provided by the same author does not correspond to what is observed in specimens of R. longipes (compare Padilla-Gil 2011: Fig. 24, Bacon 1956: Fig. 10, and this work: Fig. 19 O). Additionaly, after examining types of R. magdalena, we could not find any relevant features to distinguish it from R. longipes, thus we propose synonymizing both species. Rhagovelia guachiconoense might eventualy prove to be another synonym of R. longipes, but we did not have access to the type material in order to confirm this hypothesis.</p><p>Type material examined.

Rhagovelia rosensis and R. espriella run to couplet 9 in the key provided by Padilla-Gil (2011). According to this author, they would be separated by the mesonotum “depressed slightly in the centre” in R. rosensis, opposed to “depressed on distal half” in R. espriella, in addition to different shapes of male proctiger and paramere. Examination of the types of both species proved that the parameres are not different between them; neither are the mesonotum and other characteristics such as body and leg measurements, and spination of the hind femur. The drawings provided with the original descriptions are not accurate and, although it seems that the female abdominal laterotergites are reflexed over the mediotergites in R. espriella (Padilla-Gil 2011: Fig. 32 [mistakenly labeled as R. pacifica]), they are in fact vertical (Fig. 15C). Additionally, the type localities of both species are only about 20 km apart from each other. Considering these facts, we propose synonymizing R. rosensis and R. espriella .</p><p>Type material examined.

(1995), Padilla-Gil (2011) and Padilla-Gil (2015). Examination of topotypical material of R. vonprahli and of the types of the last two species showed that the three are synonyms of R. tantilla, possessing all diagnostic features of the last species, which are mentioned above. The paramere of R. pacifica drawn by Padilla-Gil (2011: Fig. 33) has essentially the same shape as that of R. tantilla (Bacon 1956: Fig: 16, this work: Fig. 19T). Different shapes have been drawn for R. vonprahli (Manzano et al. 1995: Fig. 8) and R. tumaquensis (Padilla-Gil 2015: Fig. 36), but they do not correspond to what we examined in the specimens. In the former case, it seems that the paramere was squeezed and slide-mounted before being drawn, whereas in the latter the issue appears to be in the drawing itself. Rhagovelia tantilla was recorded from the same Colombian municipality from where R. pacifica and R. tumaquensis were described (Padilla-Gil 2015), and the type localities of the last two species are within the same area of the municipality (Consejo Comunitario Río Mejicano).</p><p>Type material examined.

Rhagovelia tenuipes is the most widespread species of the angustipes complex and the most common in Colombia (Aristizábal 2017). It is quite variable in color and structure, and for this reason it appears in four different couplets in the key provided by Bacon (1956). This variability has led to the description of four synonyms in the beginning of the 20 th century (Drake &amp; Harris 1927, Gould 1931), until Bacon (1956) revised the definition and limits of the species. After examining the types of R. mocoa, R. umbria and R. vega, it was possible to verify that these species fall within the range of variation described for R. tenuipes in the literature and seen in specimens from Brazil (Moreira &amp; Ribeiro 2009, Moreira et al. 2010, Moreira &amp; Barbosa 2011, Moreira et al. 2012, Dias-Silva et al. 2013, Pereira et al. 2015, Crumière et al. 2019), Colombia (Moreno et al., 2018, this work), Costa Rica (Moreira et al. 2015) and Venezuela (Moreira et al. 2016). Therefore, we must consider that R. mocoa, R. umbria and R. vega are synonyms of R. tenuipes . As stated for other species above, measurements and drawings provided in the descriptions of these three junior synonyms can be very inaccurate. With the new records provided here, R. tenuipes is now known from 24 out of the 32 Colombian departments.</p><p>Type material examined.
