Labrundinia
species by the combination of the following characters.
Adult male

Remarks.
Adult males of
Labrundinia panamensis
are very similar to those of

. See remarks under
L. nicaraguensis
.
Labrundinia panamensis
has been recorded only from its
type
locality in
Panama
. The immature stages and their habitat remain unknown.
