Two new Colombian harvestmen of the genus Vima (Arachnida: Opiliones: Agoristenidae)

Abstract

Two new Colombian species of the genus Vima Hirst, 1912 are described: Vima dilectus sp. nov. from the Meta department, and Vima bellator sp. nov. from the Santander department. Both species are consistent with the current diagnosis of Vima. Consequently, the genus distribution is expanded north-wards. An updated distribution map and an identification key to the Vima species are provided.
