Geographical Distribution ( Fig. 12). The discovery at Pakitza of Agra azureipennis came as a great surprise because normally Agra species possess such small ranges. This species in now thought to be transamazon in distribution, but see Note below.
New Locality Records. 1 male, PERÚ, Madre de Dios, Pakitza , clearing, 11 ° 56 ̍ 47 ̎ S, 71 ° 17 ̍ W, 356 m, G. Servat, 5Sep1989, USNM BIOLAT /COLE 10895; 1 male, Venezuela, Amazonas, San Símon del Cocuy , 01 ° 08 ̍ N, 66 ° 50 ̍ W, 60 m, J. Sykora, Mar13251974, UCV, ADP 85381 .
Note. While virtually identical in male genitalia, form of elytra and prothorax, these two specimens have a slightly different head shape, the one from
Venezuela being slightly more angulate posteriorly. In addition, its areas of body and appendage infuscation are slightly more extensive. I do not regard these as differences significant enough to warrant recognizing them as separate species, however new collections may help refine that opinion.
