STUDIED MATERIAL. STANN CREEK: Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, pool with leaf litter next to stream, 16°46'49,3"N, 88°28'7,1"W, 06.V.2015, Leg. K. Scheers & A. Thomaes (7 ex.) ; Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Wari Lagoon, 16°46'46,1"N, 88°28'2,4"W, 07.V.2015, Leg. K. Scheers & A. Thomaes (25 ex.) ; TOLEDO: Bladen Nature Reserve, pond transition savannah-forest, 16°32'26,3"N, 88°42'57,1"W, 20.IV.2015, Leg. K. Scheers & A. Thomaes (2 ex.) .

DISTRIBUTION. Belize (first record), Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama (YOUNG, 1974). In Belize this species seems uncommon and was encountered at two sites in the Stann Creek district and one site in the Toledo district (Fig. 2 B).

HABITAT. We found this species at only three sites, but all sites had at least locally a layer of leaf litter on the bottom and were partly shaded. It seems that, in contrast to A. francescae, this species does not favor warm, sun exposed silt ponds but is more typically found in less exposed ponds, oxbows etc. (Fig. 4).
