Apterostigma goniodes

Identification
Mera-Rodriguez, et al. (2020) - Frontal lobes in frontal view triangular, each posterior margin forms an (almost) right angle with the lateral margin; ventral mesopleural carina well-developed and lamelliform; and longitudinal translucent keel present on the postpetiolar sternite (Lattke 1997).

Distribution
Mera-Rodriguez, et al. (2020) - Southern Mexico throughout Central America to Colombia (Lattke 1997; Castro et al. 2018; García-Cárdenas et al. 2018).

Distribution based on Regional Taxon Lists
Neotropical Region: Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico.
