Diagnosis: Henryvianaida colombiensis can be easily distinguished from the other Henryvianaida species by its size: it is almost twice as long and at least twice as large. Additionally, its wider paranota, costal area and consequently hemelytra are also important diagnostic differences among these two species.

Description: Body: Head, pronotum, hemelytra brown ( Fig. 29A View Figure 29 ); antennae, rostrum, legs and abdomen light brown, yellowish. Head: Pubescent; eyes fully developed, length at least half of length of the head; antenniferous process small; pedicel three times longer than scape, basi- and distiflagellomere missing; bucculae roundish, narrower posteriorly, border pubescent and slightly serrate, few fine punctate present, posterior border straight ( Fig. 29E View Figure 29 ); rostrum reaching first abdominal segment ( Fig. 29B, C View Figure 29 ). Thorax: Pubescent, finely punctate, except for middle of posterior lobe; paranota explanate, narrowing posteriorly, border sinuous, pubescent; scutellum large, less than one-third the maximum width of pronotum ( Fig. 29D View Figure 29 ); sternal laminae narrow, punctate. Hemelytra: Clavus coarsely punctate; discoidal, subcostal and costal area only finely punctate; discoidal area about three times subcostal area at its widest; subcostal area wider at middle, extending to the apex of membrane; costal area broadening posteriorly, widest at middle; membrane without inner row of punctuation ( Fig. 29F View Figure 29 ). Scent gland: Anterior branch strongly inclined forward, tip curved horizontally, short and not swollen, sulcus barely present, fading distally; posterior branch tip swollen and curved, sulcus prominent through its entire length ( Figs 16J View Figure 16 – 29C View Figure 29 ).

Measurements: BL, 4.19; BW, 1.88; HL, 0.27; HW, 0.59; ID, 0.29; PL, 0.70; PW, 1.16; AS, 0.25 and AP, 0.76.

Etymology: This species was named for the country of its type locality, Colombia, becoming the third Vianaidinae macropterous species to be named based on its type locality.

Distribution: Described from Caldas, Colombia.
