Our examinations of adults and nymphs collected from Cocl&eacute; and Panam&aacute; Provinces revealed that males are sexually mature as penultimate nymphs. The subadult strongly resembles the adult with respect to coloration, scutal outline, armature of femora III&ndash;IV, and penis morphology, but differs in having fewer tarsomeres on each leg, a smaller body size (scutal length and width), and a much smaller tubercle on the ventral surface of coxa IV. Natural history observations are provided for specimens collected from the field site in Cocl&eacute; Province.</p>

Four species occur in this region: Barrona williamsi Goodnight &amp; Goodnight 1942, Bugabitia triacantha Roewer 1915, Poassa limbata Roewer 1943, and Zygopachylus albomarginis Chamberlin 1925. In this paper, we describe Barrona felgenhaueri new species (Cocl&eacute; Province, Panama) and Bugabitia akini new species (Cocl&eacute; Province, Panama) and report a new record for B. williamsi (Cocl&eacute; Province, Panama). We used SEM to examine the penis morphology of Barrona Goodnight &amp; Goodnight 1942 and the Caribbean species Cranellus montgomeryi Goodnight &amp; Goodnight 1947 and Rhopalocranaus albilineatus Roewer 1932. We compared genital morphology of these species with published descriptions for Manaosbiidae from South America. With respect to genital morphology, we found that the most variable characters were the number and relative sizes of the setae that occur on the lateral margins of the ventral plate. Other features that exhibited interspecific variation included the shape of the ventral plate, the shape of the distal border of the ventral plate, and the shape and armature of the apex of the stylus.</p>
