Type
species.
Trogellus herrmanni
Paulsen.
Paulsen (2013)
created the genus
Trogellus
to accommodate ten species from Central America, eight of which were new, placing them into three subgenera. At that time the genus was known from northeastern
Mexico
to the
Costa Rica
/
Panama
border area. The discovery of three specimens from the
DariƩn
Gap region of
Panama
, representing a new species described below, advances the distribution of the genus to extreme eastern
Panama
only a few kilometers from
Colombia
. In addition, males of the species
T. maesi
Paulsen
have been recently collected for the first time. This allows for the first illustration of the dorsal habitus of males as well as of the male genitalia.
