Pseudonascus paulliniae
shows little variation in color and pattern in central
Rondônia
, but some individuals have more broadly rounded wings than others (male mean FW length =
22.3 mm
[20.7-23.4, n = 10]; female mean FW length =
24.5 mm
[21.6-26.2, n = 3]). The genitalia (
Fig. 117
,
124
) were described above in the generic description. Those of both sexes from
Rondônia
do not differ from those of individuals examined from
Central America
.
Pseudonascus paulliniae
is common at Cacaulândia, with records for most of the year (none in January and March;
Fig. 130
). This species ranges from southern
Mexico
to
Bolivia
and
Brazil
(
