Leucotrichia botosaneanui Flint, 1996

Fig. 3

Diagnosis.

This species is similar to L. chiriquiensis, L. hispida Thomson & Holzenthal, 2015, and L. viridis, three species that also occur in Panama. The phallus of all four species has a similar appearance, due to the elongate basal supports of the midlength complex and the small pair of membranous, apical lobes (Fig. 3E, F). Leucotrichia botosaneanui can be distinguished by the small, double-pointed mesoventral process on sternum VII, which is longer and much more prominent in the other species.
