Distribution.
BELIZE
,
GUATEMALA
(Young & Duncan 1994
;
Galati 2003
), and now
MEXICO
(Chiapas).
Remarks.
The male is similar to
Da.
beltrani
, but can be separated by the wider lateral lobe. The female of this species cannot be differentiated from those of
Da.
beltrani
and
Da. steatopyga
. This is the first record of
Da.
disneyi
in
Mexico
. Females of this species are not anthropophilous, but may feed bat or rodent blood.
