Lacosoma cf. raydela
Schaus, 1928
(
Fig. 1G
)
Described from various localities in Central and South America, but
St Laurent & Kawahara (2019)
designated a
lectotype
from Cayuga,
Guatemala
.
Lacosoma raydela
sensu stricto
occurs throughout Central America, apparently into western
Colombia
, but given that no formal generic revision of
Lacosoma
has yet been published, it is not clear as to whether the name
L. raydela
applies to multiple cryptic species. Therefore, we preliminarily assign the population from Chocó cited below to
L. cf. raydela
based on external morphology and comparison to genitalia of a
L. cf. raydela
specimen from
Costa Rica
(St Laurent pers. obs.).
Lacosoma
species
can be recognized by their small size and usually scalloped wing margins (
St Laurent
et al.
2018
), and many species are difficult to identify without genitalia and/or genetic barcoding.
Examined
material.
