Asthenidia trans. tranversaria
Colon
| Thus far I have only seen reports of Asthenidia transversaria transversaria in Costa Rica and Colon, Panama. I suspect, in addition to
Colon, it also flies in the other Panamanian provinces between Colon and Costa Rica. I do not think there are any other Asthenidia speces in Panama.

The descriptions in the right hand columns pertain to males of the four Oxytenis species known from Panama. The shape of the forewing outer margin allows for quick
identifications of species which can be highly variable within a species with respect to colour and patterning. The shape of the outer margin, however, is consistent
within a species and very different between species.
