Remarks. This species was known from a single holotype female from Costa Rica. Male of Z. armandoi is recorded here for the first time. The male specimen from Mexico well corresponds with the original description of this species, including such important features as absence of the epicnemial carina and presence of the vertical crest on the epicnemium at the level of the lower corner of pronotum.
