Diagnosis: See diagnosis of V. zunilensis above.

Distribution: Montane wet forests of Guatemala and southern Mexico between 1,500 and 2,600 meters.

Recorded distribution: A summary of the 73 specimens examined is GUATEMALA: EL PROGRESSO, ZACAPA . MEXICO: CHIAPAS .

Notes: This species and V. zunilensis are probably sister-species, with V. zunilensis documented only from Honduras, and V. guatemalensis occurring from Guatemala north into southern Mexico. The Casey type reported from Costa Rica is probably an error, as additional recent collecting efforts have not yielded new specimens, and the species that would be expected to occur in Costa Rica, if any, is V. zunilensis .
