A proposal to synonymize the freshwater crab Hypolobocera olgaluciae Ramos-Tafur and Ríos, 2007 with Hypolobocera buenaventurensis (Rathbun, 1905) from Colombia(Crustacea: Decapoda: Pseudothelphusidae)

ABSTRACT Hypolobocera olgaluciae Ramos-Tafur and Ríos, 2007 is considered herein as junior synonym of H. buenaventurensis (Rathbun, 1905) taking into account that the morphological differences on the first male gonopod are not significant and are the consequence of natural variations of the populations. The first male gonopod of H. buenaventurensis is redescribed and illustrated.
