Two sister species of Loneura, from Valle del Cauca, Colombia, are here described and illustrated. They constitute a new species group that modifies the scheme of classification, proposed earlier for the genus by García Aldrete et al. (2011b). The new group is characterized by having the central sclerite of the male hypandrium with four posterior projections. A key to the males of Group II is included. The types are deposited in the Entomological Museum of the Universidad del Valle. Colombia may prove to be the most species rich area for Loneura.
本文描述并说明了来自哥伦比亚考卡山谷的Loneura属的两个姐妹物种。它们构成了一个新的物种组,改变了加西亚·阿尔德雷特等人(2011b)之前为该属提出的分类方案。新组的特征是雄性下生殖板的中央骨片有四个后突。文中包含了第二组雄性的检索表。模式标本保存在瓦莱大学昆虫博物馆。哥伦比亚可能是Loneura属物种最丰富的地区。
