Absonemobius darienicus (Hebard, 1928), n. comb.

Hygronemobius darienicus Hebard, 1928: 242 .

Type material. Type: Panama, Porto Bello, 1 female, 18–22.viii.1916 (D.E. Harrower), ANSP (Hebard’s collection, type N°1088).

Type locality. Panama, Porto Bello.

Remark. The small size, the lack of tympanum, the number and size of TIII apical and subapical spurs, the stocky body shape (see Hebard 1928, Fig. 1 pl. 24) and the lack of FW pads in the female reveal that H. darienicus actually belongs to the genus Absonemobius, and we propose here this recombination.

By the orange coloration of DD, A. darienicus, n. comb. is close to A. alatus Otte, 2006 from Costa Rica. Both species differ by the color of their maxillary palpi (uniformly dark in A. darienicus, n. comb., lightly coloured in A. alatus: see Otte, 2006, Fig. 10), FIII length (3.6 mm in A. darienicus, n. comb. against 3 mm in A. alatus), and ovipositor length (2,7 mm in A. darienicus, n. comb. against 2 mm in A. alatus). Males are unknown.
