Sosius foliaceus Champion, 1899 View in CoL
Figs. 14A, B View FIGURE 14
Distribution: This species was known from Mexico (Veracruz and Yucatán), Panama (Bugaba) ( Champion 1899), and Brazil ( Gil-Santana 2007). It is a new generic and species record from Colombia.
Remarks: Sosius Champion, 1899 was revised by Maldonado & Carpintero (1993), including two very similar species, S. foliaceus and S. australis Maldonado & Carpintero, 1993 . The examined female specimen fits better the description of S. foliaceus given the structure and dimensions of the pronotum, which is almost as long as wide (length/width = 0.93). The examined specimen was found preying over other insects on a coffee plantation ( Figs. 14A–B View FIGURE 14 ).
