Dorisiana cachla ( Distant, 1899) n. comb.

( Fig. 26 )

Fidicina cachla Distant 1899: 112 .

Fidicinoides cachla Sanborn, Moore & Young 2008: 10 .

Type locality. Rosaria de Desamparados , Costa Rica.

Remarks. The species was assigned to Fidicinoides based on the shape of the cruciform elevation and the relationship between the posterior mesonotum and the metanotum ( Sanborn et al. 2008). Further examination of the species shows it possesses three-part tarsi and the triangular timbal cover apex characteristic of Dorisiana ( Fig. 26 ). As a result the species is herby reassigned to Dorisiana to become Dorisiana cachla ( Walker, 1850) n. comb. Body length 29–33 mm, fore wing length 38–44 mm.

Distribution. The species has been reported previously from Costa Rica, Honduras and Nicaragua ( Metcalf 1963; Sanborn 2006; 2013; 2014; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012).
