This is the first report of the family Tischeriidae in Colombia. We describe two new species recently discovered in the department of Valle del Cauca in southwestern Colombia: Astrotischeria ochrimaculosa Diškus, Stonis Vargas, sp. nov., and A. colombiana Stonis Vargas, sp. nov. The latter is a leaf miner of Asteraceae, while A. ochrimaculosa is trophically associated with Malvaceae. Astrotischeria colombiana is known only from Colombia, but A. ochrimaculosa is more widely distributed from Colombia to Peru. The new species are illustrated with photographs of their habitats, adults, male and female genitalia, and leaf mines. We comment on the rarity of tischeriids in collections and their current known distribution in the Neotropics.
这是关于哥伦比亚 Tischeriidae 科的首份报告。我们描述了最近在哥伦比亚西南部考卡山谷省发现的两个新物种:Astrotischeria ochrimaculosa Diškus、Stonis Vargas,新种,以及 A. colombiana Stonis Vargas,新种。后者是菊科植物的潜叶虫,而 A. ochrimaculosa 在营养关系上与锦葵科相关。A. colombiana 仅在哥伦比亚被发现,但 A. ochrimaculosa 的分布范围更广,从哥伦比亚到秘鲁都有。文中用其栖息地、成虫、雄性和雌性生殖器以及叶蜂幼虫潜道的照片对新物种进行了说明。我们对 Tischeriidae 科昆虫在标本收集中的稀有性及其在新热带地区目前已知的分布情况进行了评论。
