Paramere strongly truncated, almost forming a right-angle inwards; in ventral view, bearing a row of setae, starting at inferior edge and extending along lateral edges with sparse long coarse setae; discal and apical region without setae; in dorsal view, with sparse coarse setae. Ventral view lamina volsellaris with sparse and long setae, longer apically, external edge with a dense group of sensory cones. Ventral view of cuspis volsellaris bearing sparse and long setae and with sensory cones apically on external edge.</p><p>Colouration. Integument black. T 2 – T 3 with a yellow spot on each side. Head, pronotum, mesoscutum, scutellum and tergites bearing black setae (except on the yellow markings on T 2 – T 3 and metanotum, which are whitish-yellow), the remaining portion of the body with whitish-yellow setae. Wings dark brown with violaceous reflections; costal margin of fore-wing darker.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The name refers to the distinctive white and dark mixed setae. From “ album ” (Latin for “ white ”) and “ tenebris ” (Latin for “ dark ”).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Panama (Darién, Panamá, Panamá Oeste) (Fig. 9).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/132676E882895001934E9A0948C6D584	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
