Adetus insularis Breuning, 1940

( Fig. 17–21 )

Adetus insularis Breuning, 1940: 37 ; Blackwelder 1946: 596 (checklist); Breuning 1971: 298; Monné and Giesbert 1994: 184 (checklist); Monné 1994: 27 (cat.); 2005: 280 (cat.); 2018: 382 (cat.).

Adetus insularis was described and remains known only from Panama. Breuning (1940) did not comment, in his description of the species, on the sex of the holotype nor the shape of the metatibiae, which is wider distally in the male than in the female. The specimen examined has the metatibiae distinctly widened, hence it is a male.

Material examined. MEXICO (New country record), Guerrero: Hwy 200 (7 km N Ixtapa), 1 male, 17.VII.1985, J.E. Wappes col. ( ACMT).
