Abstract

A new Colombian genus of Lachesillidae is here described and illustrated. It belongs in the tribe Graphocaeciliini (Eolachesillinae) and presently includes one species each, from the Departments of Caldas and Valle del Cauca. This new genus is close to Prolachesilla in genital characters and lack of ocelli, but the forewing has the areola postica fused to M, as in Anomopsocus. The types are deposited in the Entomological Museum of the Universidad del Valle (MUSENUV), in Santiago de Cali, Colombia.
