Distribution

Guatemala, Panama.

Remarks

We observed individuals from Guatemala next to those from Panama, but we did not consider them as syntypes. According to Gorham (1888: 64): “The Guatemalan specimens are apparently referable to the same species; but I regard the Bugaba examples as typical, it being from them that the description is made”. The lectotype and one paralectotype are mounted on the same card and we designated the right-hand one (apparently better preserved, with its six legs intact) as the lectotype. Only the lectotype is shown here ( Fig. 16B ).
