Protoptila dubitans Mosely, Novitates Zoologicae, vol. 41, p. 221-222, 1939.

Protoptila tojana Mosely 



Protoptila tojana Mosely, Bull. British Mus., Ent. series, vol. 3, no. 9, pp. 331-333, 

 1954. 



Mosely described the species from 1 cf collected in Chiapas, Mexico. 

 In the material from the MCZ are 2 cf from Honduras that are iden- 

 tical with Mosely's figures of the type. In addition, a series collected 

 in Lima, Peru, greatly extends the known range of the species. The 

 Peruvian specimens differ in that the tenth tergite has a slender proc- 

 ess dorsally to the lateral arms which are sharply angulate near their 

 apices. In the Central American material the dorsal processes are 

 almost completely fused to the lateral arms which are more evenly 

 curved near their apices. These differences, however, are so slight, 

 considering the similarity of the remainder of the genitalia, that I 

 believe they are conspecific. 



Material. — Honduras: Lancetilla, August, 2 cf, Stadelmann 

 (MCZ). Peru: Lima, July 3, 1914, 1 c?, 1 9 (MCZ); July 8, 1914

 Aug. 30, 1914, 1 9 (MCZ); Aug. 31, 1914, 1 cT (CU) (all collected by 

 Parish).
