Type data:
Mocsáry (1899)
did not specify the number of specimens he used to describe this species. According to
Moure
et al
. (2007)
, it was based on a single female specimen housed at
HNHM
. In that collection I found two females with the same provenance label “Amer. centr
Chiriqui
”, both
syntypes
. A
lectotype
is here designated with the following data label: [light greenish square] 14. [handwritten]\ Amer. centr
Chiriqui
[printed]\
zonata

locality:
Panama
:
Chiriquí province

Comment: The female of this species was incorrectly interpreted by
Snelling (1984)
. According to the morphology he mentioned in his article, apparently he misidentified specimens of
C

derasa
Lepeletier, 1841
, a species that occurs in northern South America (
Moure
et al
., 2007
).
