Note.
Although
Blackwelder (1944: 239)
lists nine subspecies of
Chlorota terminata
described by
Ohaus (1912
,
1913
,
1918b
), he records the species s. str. not only for
French Guiana
but also for
Nicaragua
and
Panama
. Because we have found no other mentions of the species s. str. for Central America, we suspect that the records for that area in
Blackwelder (1944)
are either based on mislabeled or misidentified specimens or copied from publications older than those in which Ohaus’ new subspecies are described.
