Zammara smaragdina

Zammara smaragdina
Walker 1850: 33
. (West coast of America)
Remarks.
This is the largest of the Panamanian
Zammara
species with male body lengths as long as
38 mm
(females are smaller with body lengths less than
30 mm
in many cases). The species can be distinguished by bronzing being restricted to the proximal half of the fore wings, the sinusoidal median crossvein, and apical infuscation of apical cells 1 connecting across apical cell 2 and apical cell 3 to infuscation on distal radius posterior and median vein 1 roughly forming an E-shape on the fore wing apex (
