Other material.

Two specimens from the same BIN were found on BOLD; one from Oklahoma (BOLD voucher 09BBHYM-914) and the other from southern Florida (BOLD voucher 10BBHYM-1201). We doubt that they are conspecific with the Costa Rican specimens based on their distributions, but they were not examined and deserve closer scrutiny.

Etymology.

Phanerotoma alvaroherrerai is named to honor Sr. Alvaro Herrera for his long patience and efforts in the administration of the debt swap purchase of 22A of Sector Rincon Rain Forest in ACG in 2014-2015.
