Hypogena cat Steiner, 2005

( Figs 19 , 20)

Hypogena cat Steiner, 2005: 573 .

Note: This species was recently described and the original description is sufficient to identify specimens to species ( Steiner, 2005). See Fig. 19 for images of holotype and Fig. 20 for distribution.

Material examined: (2 females, 6 males): MEXICO: 1 female. TB# 20206 ( NHMB) . MEXICO: Veracruz: 1 male. TB# 20203 ( EMEC) . PANAMA: 2 males. TB# 20878 ( CASC); TB# 20205 ( BMNH) . country not specified: 1 female, 2 males. TB# 19605, 20207, 20884 ( BMNH) .

Diagnosis: The clypeal horn is long and thinnest at the base and widens apically and is truncated at the apex with an emargination. The supraorbital horns are long, thin and strongly bent forward. The horns of this species are similar to those in H. dejeani , but this species can be distinguished by having some large pronotal punctures on the lateral portions of the pronotum and the clypeal horns are not as thick as those in H. dejeani ( Fig. 19 ).
