status

 

Psoralis panamensis Anderson and Nakamura, 2019 is a junior subjective synonym of Rhomba gertschi (Bell, 1937)

Phenotypic inspection reveals that the holotype of Rhomba gertschi (Bell, 1937) is a dark specimen of a species later described as Psoralis panamensis Anderson and Nakamura, 2019 . Most notably, both taxa share tri-partite brand of similar shape, male genitalia with bulky uncus and tegumen armed with lateral projections, and uniquely shaped valva: costa expanded, harpe terminally serrated and with a prominent sharp tooth at its base inside.
