Etymology.
Considering that this species does not correspond to any of the species described so far, especially in this area (1), we have decided to describe it as a new species and dedicate it to Dr. Raymond E. Ryckman, because of his valuable contributions towards better knowledge of this group of insects (
Zeledón & Ponce 1972: 275
).
