Drymaeus bogotensis

Author: Breure, A. & Borrero, F.

Distribution

Material. Cundinamarca ?, "Santa Fe de Bogota", ex Cuming (NHMUK, lectotype).
Remarks. This species has been frequently misinterpreted in collections and is so far only known from the type material. The distribution records given by LINARES & VERA (2012: 182) do not belong to this species. Drymaeus bogotensis and D. felix are very similar and may prove to be a single taxon. We feel that the distinction between these taxa is somewhat arbitrary. For now, we have kept them separate, awaiting future studies that will hopefully resolve this issue of possible synonymy.
