Commentary. We formally report this species for Guatemala. Otte (1994) mentions this species as occurring in Guatemala but didn’t record any specimens for the country, only for Mexico and El Salvador. Behrstock & Sullivan (2011) also quote the species for central and northern Mexico. It has been supposed that this species occurred in Guatemala because it had been reported in neighboring countries. These specimens are the first to be objectively recorded with data from Guatemala.
