Remarks. Automate dolichognatha is an almost pantropical taxon, absent only in the eastern Atlantic (where it appears to be “replaced” by the closely related Automate talismani Coutière, 1900 ) (Anker et al., 2016). However, the morphological variability and some differences in the colouration suggest that it might represent a species complex. The material from Bocas del Toro is the first record of A. dolichognatha for the Caribbean coast of Panama.
