Remarks:
Two specimens from
Colombia
agree in all details with the voucher specimen G038 from
Panama
, which was used in the analysis by
Gimmel
et al.
(2019)
and in the present analysis. The species is denoted as ‘
Tenebroides
sp.
Panama’ in tree diagrams. A formal description of the species is impossible without a systematic revision of
Tenebroides
south of
USA
(see
Barron, 1971
).
