Hah. Panama, Bugaba, David (Champion), Chiriqui (Bibbe). 



The numerous examples from David are most typical ; three labelled " Chiriqui " from 

 Ribbe, and one from Bugaba, have less distinct striae and punctulated and more hairy 

 interstices. These have a tendency to connect A. semitonsa with A. eueoma. A Bugaba 

 specimen is figured.
