A new species of dobsonfly, Corydalus wanningeri, from Venezuela, is described and illustrated. It superficially resembles Corydalus neblinensis Contreras-Ramos, with a uniform reddish coloration of body and wings. Yet, because of male genitalic structure it might be closely related to Corydalus crossi Contreras-Ramos. Specimens were collected from a rain forest transitional zone between the Orinoco lowlands and the Gran Sabana plateau, in Bolívar state. This is the 15(th) species of Corydalus to be recorded from Venezuela, rendering this the country with the highest number of documented Corydalus species. A key to the sexually dimorphic, long-mandibled Venezuelan species of the genus is provided.
描述并图示了一种来自委内瑞拉的新齿蛉物种——万宁齿蛉(Corydalus wanningeri)。它表面上类似于内布利纳齿蛉(Corydalus neblinensis Contreras-Ramos),身体和翅膀呈均匀的红色。然而,由于雄性生殖器结构,它可能与克罗斯齿蛉(Corydalus crossi Contreras-Ramos)关系密切。标本采集自玻利瓦尔州奥里诺科低地和大萨瓦纳高原之间的雨林过渡带。这是委内瑞拉记录的第15种齿蛉物种,使该国成为记录有齿蛉物种数量最多的国家。提供了该属具有性二态性、长颚的委内瑞拉物种的检索表。
