Compsibidion vandenberghei Heffern, Santos-Silva & Nascimento, 2018: 526 .

Compsibidion vandenberghei was described based on two females from Nicaragua (Nueva Segovia) ( Heffern et al. 2018). We examined another female from Guatemala ( Fig. 30 ), and in comparison with the type material (holotype illustrated in Figs 31, 33 and 35 ), the female examined has the body slightly wider, scape shorter and stouter ( Fig. 32 ), flagellomeres slightly thicker, femora slightly thicker, yellowish lateral macula on the anterior third of the elytron closed adjacent to the epipleura (it is open in the holotype), black anterior elytral macula closer to the black transverse band ( Fig. 30 ), transverse black macula on posterior half of the elytron arched upward close to suture ( Fig. 30 ), and procoxal cavities slightly open behind (it is closed in the holotype). However, these types of variations also occur in other species of Compsibidion , as for example, in C. vanum (Thomson, 1867) . Additionally, the upper eye lobes ( Fig. 34 ) in the female from Guatemala have three rows of ommatidia, while in the holotype they have four rows ( Fig. 35 ). However, in the female paratype, the left upper eye lobe has four rows of ommatidia, with a single ommatidium in the fourth row, and the right upper eye lobe has three rows of ommatidia.
