Phyllobaenus subulatus (Gorham, 1883: 169)
( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 17 – 20 )
Original combination. Hydnocera subulata
Types. The number of unrecognized syntypes in other museums is not known. There may be unrecognized paralectotypes from Senahu.
Comments. This species is strikingly similar to P. subvittatus ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 17 – 20 ), which has pale, often transverse maculae on the elytra. While entirely dark bodied at first glance, one specimen from the type series of P. subulatus hints at pale discoloration at the elytral base. Both species also share the same general distribution from Guatemala to Panama. Until the species groups of Phyllobaenus are revised and morphology is carefully assessed I will not emend the status of either species.
Series locality. Sabo, Senahu, and Sinanja Valley, Guatemala; Volcan de Chiriqui and
Bugaba, Panama.
Type locality. Sabo, Vera Paz, Guatemala.
