PANAMA : Colon Prov. , Santa Rita Ridge , 300 m , 10.- 11.6.1977 , H. & A. Howden , female ( CMNC ) ; Panamá Prov. , Cerro Campana , 820 m , 8° 40' N 79° 56' W , 11.6.1995 , H. Stockwell , male ( HPSC ) . Description: Total length 3.7-5.1 mm , standard length 3.6-4.8 mm , width 1.8-2.7 mm ; integument brown, appendages reddish brown, yellow scales condensed in dorsolateral pronotal vitta and in variously developed fascia arching from metasternum across elytral callosity to apex ( Fig. 3-4 ), fragmented in Panamanian specimens; pronotal disk slightly arched, punctures confluent, intervals granular, confluent in midline; scutellum square, apex round to acuminate; elytra subtriangular, conjointly rounded and completely covering pygidium, interstriae costate except for flat portions of disk; ventral tooth variously reduced on profemur, largest on mesofemur; pro- and mesotibiae with praemucro distinct, male with sparse fringe of long hairs on ventral edge of protibia; claws separate at base; male genitalia similar to those of F. atrorubens , apex of aedeagus with sides less converging, basal portion of flagellum more narrowly curved, internal sac denticulate. Plant association: I collected the holotype and one paratype from foliage of Psychotria chitariana DWYER & HAMMEL (identification confirmed by B. HAMMEL). Distribution: The species has been collected at three localities, one in Costa Rica (Atlantic side) and two in Panama , between 300-820 m elevation. Epithet: A modified perfect participle derived from Latin pingo , meaning fairly colored. Note: The specimens from the three collecting sites show considerable variation in the color pattern; only the two Costa Rican specimens possess completely developed fasciae. Because the only male in the series is atypically small, I selected a fully developed female as holotype .
