Not identifiable with plate alone (there: Zonarius jansoni).

Current name combination: Oligocorynus zebra (Fabricius, 1787).

According to Erotylid catalogue (Alvarenga 1994), range of O.zebra is from Mexico down to Trinidad and Peru. It is not recorded from just where "O.jansoni" occurs (Nicaragua to Panama), which was already questioned as for species status in the old book:
