          Abstract

          Abstract Objective: To describe two new species of the genus Golofa. Scope: To expand the list of species of the tribe Dynastini for Colombia. Methodology: We reviewed the specimens of the genus Golofa deposited in the Colección Familia Pardo-Locarno CFPL-COL, establishing differences between the species already identified and the specimens type used for the description of the two new species reviewed in this manuscript. Main results: We described two new species of Golofa Hope, 1837, showing photographic records with diagnostic value. The number of species for Colombia is increased to nine, thus, the synopsis of species is formed as follows: Golofa aegeon Drury, 1773, Golofa antiqua Arrow, 1911, Golofa claviger Linnaeus, 1771, Golofa eacus Burmeister, 1847, Golofa paradoxa Dechambre, 1975, Golofa pelagon Burmeister, 1847, Golofa porteri Hope, 1837, Golofa farallonensis n. sp. Pardo-Locarno & Villalobos-Moreno y Golofa veliae n. sp. Pardo-Locarno & Villalobos-Moreno. Conclusions: These records ratify the Tropandean distribution of the group, evidencing the little biological and biogeographic knowledge of this group in Colombia. The results indicate a great diversity of the genus in the country, so that, the study of species distribution is recommended.

          Resumen Objetivo: Realizar la descripción de dos nuevas especies del género Golofa. Alcance: Ampliar el listado de especies de la tribu Dynastini para Colombia. Metodología: Se revisaron los especímenes del género Golofa depositados en la Colección Familia Pardo-Locarno CFPL-COL, estableciéndose diferencias entre las especies ya identificadas y los ejemplares tipo usados para la descripción de las dos nuevas especies que se revisan en el presente manuscrito. Principales resultados: Se describen dos nuevas especie de Golofa Hope, 1837, presentándose registros fotográficos con valor diagnóstico. Se amplía a nueve el número de especies para Colombia, quedando la sinopsis de especies conformada así: Golofa aegeon Drury, 1773, Golofa antiqua Arrow, 1911, Golofa claviger Linnaeus, 1771, Golofa eacus Burmeister, 1847, Golofa paradoxa Dechambre, 1975, Golofa pelagon Burmeister, 1847, Golofa porteri Hope, 1837, Golofa farallonensis n. sp. Pardo-Locarno & Villalobos-Moreno y Golofa veliae n. sp. Pardo-Locarno & Villalobos-Moreno. Conclusiones: Estos registros ratifican la distribución tropandina del grupo, evidenciándose el poco conocimiento biológico y biogeográfico de este grupo en Colombia. Los resultados indican una gran diversidad del género en el país. Se recomienda ampliar el estudio de la distribución de las especies mencionadas.
