Material examined. 1♁, 1♀ COSTA RICA, San Jose, Hacienda Zurqui, 16.viii.1979, (1500m asl), R.W. & J.A. Garrison leg., ABMM.
Known distribution. Costa Rica, Panama.
Diagnosis and remarks. The following character combination distinguishes this species from the remainder of Group B species: BP with a nearly straight margin, bearing no swelling or convexity (Figs. 47c–e); MP the shortest portion of cercus in length (Figs. 47c–e); ridge above ML formed by spaced and very strong teeth (Figs. 47c–e), 2–3 strong teeth on its apex (Fig. 47e); ML apex acute (Figs. 47c–e).
