Zootaxa. 2015 Mar 5;3926(2):296-300. doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.3926.2.10.

Abstract

A new extant species of Electribius Crowson, E. llamae sp.n., is described from Cusuco National Park, Cortés Province, Honduras. This new species lacks one of the supposed autapomorphies of the genus; therefore the definition of the genus requires modification. A revised key to the known extant species is presented, and their known distributions are mapped.
