34. Argyrotaenia atima (Walsingham, 1914) ( Fig. 12 ).

This species was described from Panama but most specimens are known from Costa Rica (USNM). Interestingly, there is a morphologically similar disjunct population in southern Brazil (VBC) which deserves closer attention to see if the two are conspecific. A single specimen from Parque Nacional Cerro Azul Meámbar extends the range north for this species.

Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. Cortés, P. N. Cerro Azul Meámbar, Panacam , 14.9061, 87.9057 1900 m, 5–7 Mar 2021 (1 adult), E. van den Bergh, blacklight/ mercury vapor trap ( EAP) .
