Abstract

Two new species of Triplocania Roesler, based on male specimens, were here described and illustrated for Ecuador, increasing the number of Ecuadorian species of Triplocania to seven. The first identification key to Triplocania species from Ecuador is presented. The Ecuadorian Triplocania species here described increase the diversity of Triplocania in Ecuador to seven species, making it the third most diverse country in Triplocania.
