Material examined. Panama, Chiriqui Province, Rovira. Elvira Farm, 2200’, 11 July 1964, A. Broce, 1♂ (FSCA) . Veraguas, Alto de Piedra, 08 ° 30.9’ N, 81 ° 07.0’ W, 16-18 June 2011, E. Fuller, 1♂ (BYUC) .

Comments. Several Costa Rican provincial records of this species are given in Stark (1998) and additional records are given for Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico in Stark & Kondratieff (2004). Jewett (1958) lists a male and two female specimens from “El Volcan, Chiriqui, Panama ” among the specimens he determined as A. sulana, a synonym of A. lineata (Stark & Kondratieff 2004) . These records may be valid, however, to my knowledge they have not been examined since the 1950’s. The specimens listed above indicate the species is a valid member of the Panamanian fauna. The specimen from Veraguas has a thimble-shaped hammer rather than nipple shaped and has other subtle features which suggest it may represent a species distinct from A. lineata .
