Apoidea, Anthophila, Colletidae, Paracolletinae, Lonchopria, BiglossaAbstract
A new species of the paracolletine genus Lonchopria Vachal, Lonchopria (Biglossa) comforti Gonzalez & Engel, new species, from high elevations in the Central Andes of Colombia is described and figured. A preliminary key to the species of the Lonchopria subgenus Biglossa Friese is presented. Recent records of bees occurring at elevations above 2500 m in Colombia and other Andean countries are also summarized.Metrics
