Selymbria stigmatica (non Germar) Wolda 1984: 451 . Selymbria pluvialis Ramos & Wolda 1985: 177 . TYPE LOCALITY . Barro Colorado Island , Panama . REMARKS. Type material is in the USNM, STRI, and the Ramos collection (NCSU) ( Ramos & Wolda 1985 ). Selymbria ahyetios , S. pandora and S. subolivacea can be distinguished from this species by the lack of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing. The infuscation of the fore wing is found on the apex of the fore wing and on basal apical cells 1–3 and/or on the radiomedial cross vein in S. boliviaensis n. sp. , S. danieleae , S. ecuadorensis n. sp. , S. iguazuensis n. sp. , S. madredediosensis n. sp. , S. puntarenasensis n. sp. , and S. stigmatica . Selymbria ahyetios can be distinguished by the diamond shaped widening of the postclypeus central sulcus near the postclypeus ventral apex, female operculum extending to sternite II with a posteromedial notch, an uncus with a curved posterior margin that is wider than the anal styles with recurved spines on either side, the wide notch in the posterior of male sternite VIII, and aedeagus with two short spines medially with larger extensions forming lateral wings. Selymbria chevauxensis can be distinguished by the fore femur primary spine is adpressed to the femur rather than being angled above it, the curved cubitus anterior 1 of the fore wing between the split with cubitus anterior 2 and the mediocubital crossvein. The fore wing length greater than 25 mm , uncus with curved lateral margins, and fore femur apical spine about half the length of the secondary spine distinguishes S. cinctifera n. sp. The uncus with a transverse posterior margin, the angled secondary femoral spine, the male operculum concealing the posteromedial tympanal cavity, and the straight lateral margin of female sternite VII not constricting the posterior extension in the middle distinguishes S. guatemalensis n. sp. The castaneous abdomen, uncus without a narrowed and rectangular terminus, and the straight lateral margin of female sternite VII distinguishes S. guianensis n. sp. from this new species. The Panamanian species can be distinguished by the fore wing length being greater than 25 mm , an uncus with curved lateral margins, and a fore femoral apical spine about half the length of the secondary spine in S. cinctifera n. sp. , the diamond shaped widening of the postclypeus central sulcus near the postclypeus ventral apex, an uncus with a curved posterior margin that is wider than the anal styles with recurved spines on either side, the wide notch in the posterior of male sternite VIII, and the parallel medial margins of the notch in female sternite VII in S. ahyetios , and the fore wing length being less than 25 mm , an uncus with straight lateral margins, and a small fore femoral apical spine, the expanding central sulcus to the posteroventral postclypeus, the constricted and rectangular uncus terminus, male sternite VIII without a terminal notch, and the posteriorly widening notch in female sternite VII in S. pluvialis . The species is named for the emergence pattern ( Ramos & Wolda 1985 ). It emerges when the rains begin and remains active during the early and mid-rainy season between late April and mid-September. The majority of specimens for the type series was collected in canopy traps suggesting that it tends to fly at higher altitudes in the forest ( Ramos & Wolda 1985 ; Wolda 1977 ; 1988 ; 1989 ). DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported previously from Costa Rica , Guatemala and Panama ( Sanborn 2013 ; 2014; 2018). Previous records to Guatemala are in actuality S. guatemalensis n. sp. reducing the range of the species here. Panamanian specimens are from Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, 120 m altitude in lowland forest ( Ramos & Wolda 1985 ; Wolda 1977 ; 1988 ; 1989 ; Wolda & Ramos 1992 ).
