A New Species of Colonanthes Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) from Panamá and the Placement of the Genus in Litini Bruand (Gelechiinae).

We diagnose and describe Colonanthes korytkowski new species from Panamá and discuss the placement of the genus in Litini Bruand, 1859 (Gelechiinae). The genus was represented by a single species, Colonanthes plectanopa Meyrick, 1923, described from two male specimens collected at Manaus, Brazil and Yurimaguas, Peru. We include the first female description of a species in the genus and expand the distribution of the genus north by over 1000 km. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
