Psyrassaforma janzeni ; Maes et al. 2010: 275 (distr.; misidentification).

The description of Psyrassaforma nitida was based on males and females from Mexico (Quintana Roo, Veracruz, Guerrero), Honduras, and Belize. Hovore (2006) reported this species from Guatemala.

Maes et al. (2010) illustrated one specimen from near Bonanza in northeast Nicaragua, noting it as a new country record for P. janzeni . However, the specimen belongs to P. nitida . Accordingly, Nicaragua is a new country record for P. nitida , and P. janzeni is excluded from the Nicaraguan fauna. Psyrassaforma nitida differs from P. janzeni by the absence of decumbent setae on the elytra (present and moderately abundant in P. janzeni ), and femora finely and sparsely punctate (coarsely, densely punctate in P. janzeni ).
