Promicrogaster miranda Muesebeck, 1958: 421. Original description.

Holotype.

Female, NMNH (not examined). PANAMA, Barro Colorado Island, Canal Zone. Voucher code: USNM 63052.

Material examined.

1♀ (CNC), TRINIDAD, Curepe , viii.1978, Malasise Trap ; 1♀ (CNC), TRINIDAD, St. Augustine , x.1946, collected on Cordia ( Boraginaceae ) .

Distribution.

Panama, Trinidad.

Comments.

Previously known only from the holotype, we consider here two specimens from Trinidad (in the CNC collection) to be conspecific based on morphological similarities with the original description -thus expanding the known distribution of the species. However, future study of the holotype will be needed to corroborate our present decision. The photos provided in this paper were taken from one of the Trinidad specimens.
