Neoptychodes cosmeticus Martins & Galileo, 1996 View in CoL

Neoptychodes cosmeticus Martins & Galileo, 1996: 293 View in CoL ; Júlio et al. 2000: 43 (type); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 269 (checklist); Monné, 2016: 816 View Cited Treatment (cat.); Monné & Monné, 2016: 70 View Cited Treatment (type).

Neoptychodes cosmeticus View in CoL was described based on a male and a female from Colombia and a female from Ecuador. After the original description, the species was mentioned only in catalogues and checklists. According to Martins & Galileo (1996) (translated): “ Neoptychodes cosmeticus View in CoL more resembles N. cretatus (Bates, 1872) View in CoL by absence of continuous white band close to elytral suture.” Although the statement is correct in relation to the sutural white band, N. cosmeticus View in CoL more closely resembles N. candidus (Bates, 1885) View in CoL and N. hondurae hondurae (White, 1858) View in CoL .

The species is recorded from Panama (new country record). PANAMA, Coclé: El Valle (Cerro Gaital, 8.62595 / -80.13839), 14.V.2015, S. S. Anzaldo col. ( FWSC) .
