Additionally, to facilitate field identification, qualitative characteristics on its stages were presented. The described adults were collected in the departments of Quindío and Tolima. The immature stages were described based on specimens reared in laboratory al Montenegro, Quindío (2 1.4ºC, and 89.2% R. H.).
