Abstract
Asymphyloptera is distributed in the Australasian region and the New World. A new species of Asymphyloptera Collin is described from the Colombian Andean-Amazon cloud forest, namely Asymphyloptera andinoamazonica Ramos-Pastrana & Córdoba-Suarez, sp. nov. (type locality: Vereda Sucre, Florencia, Caquetá). New records for Asymphyloptera miraflorensis and A. tama, previously known only from their type locality (Huila, Garzón), are reported further south in Colombia (Caquetá, Florencia). Illustrations of the new species, an updated key for South American species and a distribution map for Colombian species are presented.

Introduction
Asymphyloptera was created by Collin, 1933, based on a single female specimen from Peru. The genus is distributed in the Australasian region [Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand and Norfolk Island] (Sinclair 1995, 2015) and the New World (Chile, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, the United States of America and Colombia) (Sinclair 2015; Ramos-Pastrana et al. 2023).
In the New World, records of Asymphyloptera were restricted to the type species (Collin 1933) until Sinclair (1995) listed several undescribed species from Arizona (USA), Costa Rica and Venezuela. Subsequently, Sinclair (2015) described seven New World species, namely Asymphyloptera cajanuma Sinclair, 2015 (Ecuador), A. chilensis Sinclair, 2015 (Chile), A. chiricahua Sinclair, 2015 (USA: Arizona), A. dominica Sinclair, 2015 (Dominica), A. havasu Sinclair, 2015 (USA: Arizona), A. lutea Sinclair, 2015 (Costa Rica), and A. mexicana Sinclair, 2015 (Mexico). Finally, Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2023) described two species, A. miraflorensis Ramos-Pastrana, Córdoba-Suarez & Sinclair, 2023 and A. Tama Ramos-Pastrana, Córdoba-Suarez & Sinclair, 2023 (Colombia).
Initially, Sinclair (1995, 1999) recovered Asymphyloptera, Afroclinocera Sinclair, 1999 and Proagomyia Collin, 1933, as a sister group to the other Clinocerinae genera, which are mainly restricted to the Southern Hemisphere. However, in a recent phylogenetic study, Vojvoda Zeljko et al. (2024) expressed doubts about placing Asymphyloptera within Clinocerinae and hypothesized that Asymphyloptera is of Gondwanan origin.
The objective of this paper is to describe and illustrate a new species of Asymphyloptera from Colombia, provide an updated identification key to males, and present a revised distribution map of the species in the country.
Material and methods
This study is based on specimens collected with Malaise traps during an entomological expedition in Parque Natural Regional Páramo de Miraflores, in the municipality of Garzón, Huila, Colombia. These specimens are deposited in the Colección del Laboratorio de Entomología Universidad de la Amazonia (LEUA) (RNC 270).
To study the internal characteristics of the male genitalia, the abdomen apex was cut off at the third tergite, placed into lactic acid (85%), and heated at 150 °C using a Thermo Scientific Cimarec plate for approximately 10 min (Cumming 1992). The pieces were dissected and photographed in glycerin using a concave slide. After examination, genitalia were stored in microvials containing glycerin. The wings were mounted on microslides with Canada Balsam. The microvial and microslide were pinned along with the respective specimen. The external morphological terminology follows Cumming and Wood (2017), and for male terminalia we follow Sinclair (2015) and Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2023).
Photographs were taken with a Leica digital camera DFC450 coupled to a stereomicroscope Leica M205A and connected to a computer with Leica Application Suite software, with an automatic mounting module (synchronization software) (http://www.syncroscopy.com/syncroscopy/). Illustrations of the terminalia were made using Infinite Painter® software version 7.2.4 from the corresponding digital image. The map showing geographic records of the three species was plotted using the SimpleMappr software version 0.2.0 (Shorthouse 2010).
In the list of examined material, label data are given as presented on the labels. Square brackets ([ ]) are used to indicate complementary data that are not present on the specimen labels. Data for specimens with identical data were simplified with ‘idem’, and only the data that differ from the previous labels were written out; the slash “/” separates data from each label.

Asymphyloptera Collin, 1933: 323. Type species: A. discrepans Collin, 1933, by original designation.
Diagnosis.
[adapted from Sinclair (2015) and Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2023)]. Very small size (wing length < 2.5 mm); face broad with distinct clypeus; postpedicel globular with long, slender apical extension; mouthparts narrow with palpus elongate and narrowly pointed, appressed to proboscis; unusual wing venation, where R2+3 is branched and the upper crossvein of cell dm (= base of M2) is absent; cercus with anterior and posterior lobes (rarely anterior lobe absent); epandrium narrow, with elongated setae apically; surstylus with acute apex (rarely flattened or rounded); and phallus straight or arched, mainly membranous apically.
Distribution.
In Australasia, this genus is known from Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand and Philip Island (Norfolk) (Sinclair 1995). In the New World, this genus is recorded from Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, and the USA (Arizona). The genus is also known from Puerto Rico (Cumming and Sinclair 2009), but the specimens have not been relocated (Sinclair 2015; Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2023).

Unidentified females of Asymphyloptera
A total of 126 female Asymphyloptera specimens were analyzed, which proved difficult to associate with their male counterparts due to their similarity to each other and to the females of A. tama and A. miraflorensis.

Discussion
The study of the genus Asymphyloptera and the family Empididae in Colombia is still in its infancy. Only recently, Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2023) recorded the genus in Colombia for the first time, describing two species. This study describes another new species of Asymphyloptera from Colombia. With this discovery, Colombia becomes the country with the greatest diversity of this genus in the New World, with three species. Mexico and Peru follow with two species each; the remaining countries where the genus occurs have only one species.
Until now, the distribution of Asymphyloptera species in Colombia has been restricted to the highlands of the Andean-Amazonian transition zone, which is considered to have a high level of endemism. According to Holdridge (1967), the two locations in Colombia where Asymphyloptera was collected are part of the low montane, very humid forest. The climatic limits of the vegetation formation are a biotemperature between 12 and 18 °C and an average annual rainfall of 2000–4000 mm. Focused collections in small, rocky mountain streams in Colombia are likely to produce additional specimens and species of Clinocerinae.
