Description
Metrichia sacculifera (Flint)
Fig. 30
Metrichia sacculifera (Flint) has previously been reported from Dpto. Antioquia in Colombia by Flint 1991. The specimens from Quebrada Rambala, appear to be identical in nearly all respects to the description in Flint (1991). The phallus of the Panamanian specimens appear to be the mirror image of the specimens from Colombia, but this could be a result of the phallus rotating The abdominal pouches in the specimens from Panama match the description of those from Colombia, but they were not drawn in the original description. We have taken the opportunity to redraw this species based on the material from Quebrada Rambala.
Material examined. Panama, Bocas del Toro Province, Quebrada Rambala, near Rambala Jungle Lodge, 3.74 km SSE Rambala, 8.91627°N and 82.15469°W, 120 m, Malaise trap, March 31–April 11, 2015, E. Carlson, 4 males; ibid., October 7–9, 2016, 41 males; ibid., November 15–20, 2016, 36 males; ibid., February 6–12, 2017, 10 males; ibid., November 15–20, 2016, 36 males.
