Rivera

—Originally described from
Ecuador
(
Rivera
, 2010a
) and later reported from
Colombia
(
Medellín and Salazar, 2011
). This species was cited from
Peru
by
Patel & Singh (2016a)
but no specimens were reported. Although this species could eventually be found in the northern most regions of
Peru
, there are no confirmed records in the literature and thus we dismiss this report until more evidence is gathered.
