Abstract

We here describe and illustrate the following 14 new species of Loneura: altaquerensis; carijona; javierensis; koreguaje; magdalenensis; misak; murui; nonuya; occidentalis; orucapu; tatama; tayronensis; tendalensis; zuluagai. These are based on specimens recently collected in natural areas of Colombia; the females of L. colombiana García Aldrete et al., and L. gorgonaensis García Aldrete et al., are also described. The new species are assigned to the infrageneric groups recognized in the genus. The number of species of Loneura is raised to 35, of which 21 (73.2%) are from Colombia, making this country the most species rich for the genus. An identification key to the males of Loneura is included.
