9. Xanthofreya albosignata (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1901), Figure 7 Cyrene albosignata F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1901; Freya albosignata Petrunkevitch 1911; Freya demarcata Chamberlin & Ivie 1936; Xanthofreya albosignata Edwards 2015 Material examined . 1♂ [Figure 7], Colombia, Co ́ rdoba, Tierralta: TuisTuis. This locality can be associated with approximate coordinates of [8°2'2.881"N, 76°5'29.993"W], [178m], 3 Dec 2014, humid forest, manual collection, E. Bedoya – Roqueme leg. (LEUC; OARA-090). Type material deposited in the MCZ, FDACS not examined. Diagnosis . According to Edwards (2015) and Martinez (2017), males of X. albosignata (Figure 7A) can be identified by the presence of a flat embolus (Figure 7B), broad, and largely membranous on the edges, and a flattened prolateral ramus associated with the embolus tip (Figure 7 C-D). Measurements (specimens from Colombia). One male: TL= 6.32; CL= 2.93; CW= 2.21; AL= 2.74; AERW= 2.26; PERW= 2.21; LOQ= 2.26; PMEP=0.36; eyes of the second row separated from the ALE by 0.35 mm and from the PLE by 0.42 mm. Natural history . In Colombia Two species of Xanthofreya are known which, according to Martinez (2017), were collected in a tropical low-dry ecosystem and in a fragment of secondary forest (average relative humidity of 83.5%). Here we record X. albosignata in the humid tropical forest of the Department of Có rdoba, associated with low vegetation and at 178 meters above sea level. Distribution .
