Scaralis (Alphinoides) spectabilis ( Walker, 1858) View in CoL , stat. nov.
Type material. Holotype, female ( BMNH): BRAZIL: Pará; figured by Porion (1994), Plate 4, Fig. 60 View FIGURES 57–62 .
Notes. While this was the only Alphinoides species previously reported to occur in Mesoamerica ( Panama; Distant, 1887), it seems certain that this record refers instead to Scaralis (A.) inbio , as the type locality of spectabilis is Pará, Brazil. The markings on the thorax of fluvialis, spectabilis , and inbio are very similar, though some features of the wings and abdomens are quite different. Metcalf (1938) placed spectabilis into Poblicia , not having examined the type, and not realizing it was a “calyptoproctine”.
