(South America) Zammara calochroma (non Walker) Goding 1925: 6 , 15. REMARKS.—This is one of the small species of Zammara with a body length less than 30 mm . It can be distinguished from the other small species, Z. calochroma (and small females of Z. smaragdina ), by the apical fore wing infusca- tion only in apical cell 1 and the absence of a large band of infuscation traversing the fore wings across the crossveins in Z. smaragdula ( Goemans 2016 ) . Goemans (2016) plotted the distribution of Z. calochroma Walker, 1858 and showed that Ecuadorian records are actually Z. smaragdula , a species the Goding (1925) considered a synonym of Z. calochroma when he reported the species from Ecuador . In addition, the characters used in the key by Goding (1925) to distinguish his species describe Z. smaragdula rather than actual specimens of Z. calochroma . DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Bolivia , Brazil , Costa Rica , Colombia , Ecuador , Guatemala , Mexico , Panama , and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963a ; Duffels & van der Laan 1985 ; Maccagnan et al. 2011; Sanborn 2013; 2014a; 2018c; 2019b; Goemans 2016 ). Goding (1925) reported the species from the environs of Quayaquil, Guayas province and Goemans (2016) reported specimens from Esmeraldas, Nalo, Orellana , and Sucumbios provinces.
