Diphyrama singularis Bates, 1872

( Fig. 18 )

Diphyrama singularis Bates, 1872: 188 .

Remarks. This species was described from Nicaragua. Bates (1872) included Diphyrama in Tillomorphini Lacordaire, 1868 and Chemsak & Linsley (1974) transferred it to Anaglyptini . Currently, it is known from Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama ( Chiriquí, Panama, and Panama Oeste), and Ecuador ( Monné 2024a; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2025). The species was recently reported from the Panamanian province of Panama by Lanuza-Garay & Monné (2025). We took the opportunity to include a photograph of a specimen from this province, showing the dark oblique band, located about the middle of the elytra, narrower than in the specimens illustrated on Bezark (2025).

Material examined. PANAMA, Panama ( new province record): 30 km E Canita [ Cañita ], 1 male, 29.VII.1990, F. T. Hovore leg. ( CSCA) .
