Ceratotingis zeteki ( Drake, 1950)

( Figs 2H , 3H , 4H , 5Hand 6D )

Macrotingis zeteki Drake, 1950: 299 ; Drake & Ruhoff, 1965: 294; Froeschner, 2003: 29.

Ceratotingis zeteki: Montemayor, 2008: 448 .

Diagnosis. General colour yellowish brown. Cuticle anterodorsal to eyes with same characteristics as the rest of the head. Occipital spines gradually diverging. Segment Iapproximately five times longer than the head. Hood well developed. Median pronotal carina same height along its entire length. Paranota with two rows of areolae. Mesosternal lamina subparallel. Costal area with two rows of areolae.

Total body length (male holotype): 4.79.

Type material examined. Holotype: ♂, Panama, Barro Colorado IS., Canal Zone , vii.1946 ( NMNH).

Distribution ( Fig. 7 ). Panama.

Discussion. Ceratotingis zeteki can be distinguished from other members of the genus as it has a biseriate costal area.
