Comment.
Bates described
A. cribricollis
from western
Mexico
,
DURANGO
;
author’s male (specimen A) from
NAYARIT
(adjacent to Durango and, therefore, assumed to correspond to Bates’ species) has tegmen
Type
3e, but with longer lateral lobes. Author’s male from eastern
Mexico
,
VERACRUZ
(specimen B), also has tegmen
Type
3e, but with shorter lateral lobes.
Specimens
from the western
Mexico
to
Costa Rica
, are most likely to be
A. cribricollis
Bates. Those
from
Veracruz
(author’s specimen B) may be different species or subspecies.
And
, specimens from
Oaxaca
may be in-between (unfortunately the single male available to the author is not suitable for the preparation of its genitalia).
Someday
, someone with a good series of specimens from all three areas will be able to resolve these uncertainties
.
