An Updated and Annotated Checklist of the Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Panamá

Abstract

An updated checklist of the 82 species of Gelechiidae recorded from Panama is provided, along with type depositories, type localities, records from the literature, and a map of all collecting sites, recent and historical. Eleven species are newly recorded for the country, and for one of these, Anacampsis phytomiella Busck, the male genitalia are described for the first time. Iphimachaera picticollis (Walsingham, 1912) is transferred to Depressariidae, and therefore is excluded from the list.
