Majeorona aper ( Walker, 1850) View in CoL
Fidicina aper Walker 1850: 87 View in CoL . (Cayenne, French Guiana)
Remarks. This is the largest of the Majeorona species known to Panama with body lengths of about 48 mm and wing spans of more than 120 mm. The basic brown and piceous coloration, the anterior extension of the postclypeus when viewed from the dorsal side and the fore wings have infuscation on the radial and radiomedial crossveins which easily distinguish it from M. truncata Goding, 1925 .
Distribution. The species is known from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Nicaragua, and Panama ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Maes 2012). It was reported as being collected in Panama by Wolda & Ramos (1992) but without locality data.
Material examined. “ PANAMA / Cardenas / 29–May–1984 / D. Kemp ” one male ( AFSC).
