Pantonyssus nigriceps Bates, 1870: 276 ; Gemminger, 1872: 2824 (cat.); Aurivillius, 1912: 100 (cat.); Bodkin, 1919: 268 (distr.); Williams, 1931: 225; Blackwelder, 1946: 567 (checklist); Zajciw, 1968: 541; 1972: 51 (distr.); 1974: 49 (distr.); Penteado-Dias, 1984: 227; Chemsak et al., 1992: 45 (checklist); Monné, 1993: 80 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 58 (checklist); Martins, 1995: 743; Lingafelter, 1998: 78; Monné, 2005: 231 (cat.); Martins, 2005: 148; Monné & Hovore, 2006: 70 (checklist); Wappes et al., 2006: 11 (distr.); Monné et al., 2009: 10 (distr); Monné et al., 2010: 240 (distr.); Monné et al., 2016:11 (distr.); Monné, 2018: 337 (cat.).

This species was originally described from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). Later, Bodkin (1919) reported it from Guyana, Zajciw (1974) from the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo, Chemsak et al. (1992) from Panama, Monné & Giesbert (1994), from Bolivia, and Martins (1995) from the Brazilian state of S„o Paulo. Monné (2018a) did not list Panama and Guyana as countries where the species occurs. However, he recorded the Brazilian states of Paraná and Santa Catarina. We do not know who formally reported P. nigriceps from those two Brazilian states. Furthermore, without examination of the specimens used by Bodkin (1919) and Chemsak et al. (1992) to record the species in Panama and Guyana, we cannot exclude the species from the fauna of those countries. Furthermore, the presence of the species in Colombia reinforces the possibility of the occurrence in Panama and Guyana.

Material examined (only specimen of the new record). COLOMBIA (new country record), Magdalena: Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (road San Pablo—La Mica; 10º53’24”N / 74º05’44”W; 270 m), 1 female, 5-6. VI .2018, V. Sinyaev col. ( MZSP) .
