Figure 45. Panama. E. violaceipennis Scullen southern record for the genus and it is one of three species in which the 2 submarginal cell of the fore wing is not petiolate. Efforts have been made to locate the "Cabima" recorded as the type location. The late J. Zetek, for many years in charge of the Balboa Laboratory, was most helpful in this connection. Several localities carry the name "Cabima" so that it has been impossible to determine without question which is the true type locality. Several of the localities by that name are now under water. In view of the fact that it is a very large species measuring 23 mm. in length, it is strange no other collector has taken it. Prey record.—None.
