The specific epithet, notcatie , is used as a noun in apposition based on the acronym of CATIE (see above), and in reference to the species described above, A. catie , which this is not , because of the attributes described above. Notes. This species was collected on Virola koschnyi at La Selva Biological Station by the ALAS Project. Notcatie­subgroup stylomere 2 are similar to those of Agra castaneipes , see that web page. F. Hovore collected a female at combined “MV & UV lights” at CATIE .
