Selymbria pluvialis Ramos & Wolda 1985: 177 . ( Barro Colorado Island , Panama)

Remarks. Selymbria pluvialis can be distinguished quickly from S. ahyetios by the spot of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing. This species emerges when the rains begin and is active during the early and mid-rainy season between late April and mid-September and tends to fly at higher altitudes in the forest based on the majority being captured in the canopy trap ( Ramos & Wolda 1985; Wolda 1977; 1988; 1989).

Distribution. The species has been reported previously from Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama ( Sanborn 2013; 2014). Panamanian specimens are from Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, 120 m altitude in lowland forest ( Ramos & Wolda 1985; Wolda 1977; 1988; 1989; Wolda & Ramos 1992).
