A1200149FFE04815DAB887A2FAE1F808.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This new species takes the name “ gauteovan ” after the Tayrona goddess as a tribute to the place from which the holotype was collected. In the Tayrona culture this goddess is considered the mother of all things. The name is treated as a noun in apposition.	en	Yepes, Sol, Forero, Dimitri (2021): Two new species of the bee-mimicking genus Mallophora (Diptera, Asilidae) from Colombia.

A1200149FFE04815DAB887A2FAE1F808.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Mallophora gauteovan sp. nov. differs from other species of Mallophora by the brown body color and the color pattern of the ventral setae of the hind tibia, in which there are brown setae on the basal third, whereas the apical two thirds have white setae; dorsally the setae are brown, except for a small area of white setae, increasing in size towards apex. Following the key of Artigas & Angulo (1980), this species might be confused with M. thompsoni Artigas & Angulo, 1980 because of the setae on the hind tibia increase in length toward the apical third, and by the white setae on the hind femur. Nonetheless, M. thompsoni has a black body, hyaline wings and epandrium with white setae, whereas M. gauteovan sp. nov. has a reddish-brown body, the wings are opaque brown, and the epandria has yellow setae, same as the abdomen. More importantly, it seems from the description of M. thompsoni, that the color pattern of the hind tibia is different, because in this species the basal has white setae, whereas in M. gauteovan sp. nov. only the apical two thirds ventrally are white. Although the description is based on a single specimen, we argue that it represents a new species based on the particular color pattern of the setae on the hind legs, especially on the hind tibia. Previous evidence (Artigas & Angulo, 1980, Kohler et al., 2013) and careful examination of additional species of Mallophora (S. Yepes unpubl. obs.), enable us to confirm that males of every species have a particular color pattern and chaetotaxy on the hind legs. Therefore, having a single male allows us to hypothesize that this specimen belongs to a new species.	en	Yepes, Sol, Forero, Dimitri (2021): Two new species of the bee-mimicking genus Mallophora (Diptera, Asilidae) from Colombia.

A1200149FFE64813DAB887A2FC8BF88F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Mallophora kalos sp. nov. differs from other species of Mallophora by the brown body color, the distribution of setae on the hind tibia, in which the basal half ventrally has brown setae and the apical half are white; the predominance of white setae all over the body; and the long hind tibia. Mallophora kalos sp. nov. will key out to M. thompsoni using the key of Artigas & Angulo (1980) because of the distribution of the setae on the hind tibia, in which they increase in length toward the basal third, and by the presence of white setae on the hind femur. Nevertheless, M. thompsoni has a black body, the abdomen has yellow setae on all tergites, has hyaline wings, and the male genitalia have white setae, whereas Mallophora kalos sp. nov. has a brown body, the setae are predominantly white, the wings are opaque, and the male genitalia does not have white setae. Some of these color differences between Mallophora kalos sp. nov. and M. thompsoni might be because the holotype of Mallophora kalos sp. nov. seems to have been collected in ethanol and then pinned dry. If so, some change in coloration might have occurred. Nonetheless, even if some fading occurred, the color pattern of the hind tibia is very different to that of M. thompsoni, clearly pointing that the two are different species. Mallophora kalos sp. nov. is very similar to M. gauteovan sp. nov., but M. gauteovan sp. nov. is more robust and darker, it has yellow setae on abdominal tergites 2 – 8, the face shows a clear brown spot between the antennae and the proboscis, the face has yellow and black macrosetae, and it lacks setae on the vein R 1. Additionally, Mallophora kalos sp. nov., can be differentiated by the predominantly yellow color of the setae, and the tarsomeres only with black setae, suggesting that they are different species.	en	Yepes, Sol, Forero, Dimitri (2021): Two new species of the bee-mimicking genus Mallophora (Diptera, Asilidae) from Colombia.
