Total 138 specimens. Note. Casey (1922) was mincing Champion’s (1907) words when he described one syntype of P. canus (a homogeneous series from two sites in Chiriquí) as Conophora cana dispersa. The available records show that this is a single, well-defined species that is restricted to the Pacific side of the Cordillera de Talamanca. Conophora cana dispersa is a new subjective synonym of P. canus.
