Comments.
Several Costa Rican provincial records of this species are given in
Stark (1998)
and additional records are given for
Belize
,
Guatemala
,
Honduras
and Mexico in
Stark & Kondratieff (2004)
.
Jewett (1958)
lists a male and
two female
specimens from “El Volcan,
Chiriqui
,
Panama
” among the specimens he determined as
A. sulana
, a synonym of
A. lineata
(
Stark & Kondratieff 2004
)
. These records may be valid, however, to my knowledge they have not been examined since the 1950’s. The specimens listed above indicate the species is a valid member of the Panamanian fauna. The specimen from
Veraguas
has a thimble-shaped hammer rather than nipple shaped and has other subtle features which suggest it may represent a species distinct from
A. lineata
.
