Remarks. Specimen “NHMUK 014589494” is incorrectly labelled with “ Ca. Rica Chiriqui”. We believe this may be a similar mistake to the C. marginata specimen (NHMUK 014589729) which was from Oliver E. Janson, who may have labelled some specimens with an incorrect locality, and sold them to other collectors, such as Alexander Fry. This specimen has been listed under “ COSTA RICA: No Data.” for the distribution. Specimen “NHMUK 014589829” from Nevinson’s collection, with no further data, is in a display drawer used for public tours.

Distribution. COSTA RICA (8): Alajuela, No Data. PANAMA (5): Chiriquí, No Data. NO DATA (4).
