15. Nyctibora noctivaga Rehn

Nyctibora noctivaga Rehn 1902: 3 ; Nicaragua.

Comments. This species differs from N. lutzi (Species 14) mainly in the male supra-anal plate. Shelford (1910) first recorded it from “Loango Island” (Lovango Cay) near St. Thomas, USVI; Rehn and Hebard (1927) state that “the latter record, however, was based on an immature male individual, and in consequence the specific determination may be open to question.” We have not recognized any specimen of this taxon and question the record from the Virgin Islands until Lovango is revisited. It was recorded from Nicaragua; Panama; Jamaica; and Colombia, and considered adventive in Canada, USA, and Europe ( Princis 1967).
