The announcement of Panama as host of World Youth Day in 2019, turned out to be a great surprise for the whole world. For the fi rst time such a small country, has hosted a global event. Panamá is known primarily from the Panama Canal and the Panamanian aff air called Panama. But speaking in these two contexts is very hurtful, because it is a country richly diverse, and the Church here has a unique, unique face. Catholic missions are included in the history of Panama from the very beginning. From the beginning of the bishopric in the city of Panamá, through the territorial development of the Church, everything here has a mark of mission. The fi nal element of the article is the presentation of the Church in the Bocas del Toro Territorial Prelature. The prelature is located in the Caribbean Sea and is geographically diff erent from the rest of the country. But this place is an example of a missionary church, and of a church that needs support in its mission. Poles coming to Panama for the next World Youth Day will discover a unique country, and together with the Poles, Panama will be discovered by the whole world.

Around Philosophy of Education in Panama ABSTRACTThis article approaches some points about Philosophy of Education in Panama. Firstly, we problematize the subject of what is that we call our concept of education in Panama; Secondly, we put our effort into standing out the persona of Diego Domínguez Caballero as a Philosophy of Education promoter thoroughly. Lastly, we analyse the content of the Philosophy of Education course, as it denotes. These three steps will give us a first approximation with what the Philosophy of Education in Panama is. The points will be developed in the same order they were exposed. Some other elements we won't ignore along this piece of writing are the problems, in general, related to the society where these three points, which we'll analyse and regard intercepting, are inserted. These problems will be dealt with, generally speaking, because, in short, they are one consubstantial topic to the Philosophy of Education.Philosophy. Education. Panama. Diego Dominguez Caballero.

This study attempted to specify logit models for bulkers transporting mostly thermal coal from the East Coast of Colombia to Chile through the Panama Canal compared to the alternative route. The preliminary proposed predictors for the logit models included voyage cost variables and Canal's attributes. For the route choice of coal from the East Coast of Colombia to Chile, voyage cost factors such as Panama Canal cost, distance difference between Panama versus alternative route, post arrival of vessel to the next port and the maximum transit draft were important factors in this choice, as well as Panama Canal attributes such as vessel arrivals at the Panama Canal and the Panamax Plus requirement to transit the neopanamax locks. The route choice involved the Panama Canal and Cape Horn/Magellan Strait in the Southern tip of South America. This study analyzed coal traffic between October 1, 2016, and September 30, 2020, and briefly discussed the future of coal movements through Panama, given Chile's long term plans to generate electricity using renewanable energy sources and hydrogen. This paper is a contribution to the discrete choice literature and attempted to provide insights into route choice factors involving the Panama Canal, proposing new preliminary explanatory variables to better understand route choices that may apply in future Panama Canal studies. The study will be a contribution to the universal maritime coal transportation literature, and it is a continuation on research related to the Panama canal, particularly on route choices using AIS information.

Generał Omar Torrijos Herrera doszedł do władzy pół roku po zamachu stanu z 1969 r. Rządził przez około 12 lat, aż do swej śmierci w 1981 r. W znacznym stopniu przyczynił się do osiągnięcia największego sukcesu w polityce zagranicznej Panamy, od początku powstania tego państwa (1903 r.), jakim było zawarcie (1977 r.) nowych traktatów: o Kanale Panamskim oraz o trwałej neutralności i funkcjonowaniu Kanału. Z chwilą wejścia w życie Traktatu o Kanale Panamskim utraciły moc wszystkie dotychczasowe umowy, w tym najważniejsze: z 1903 r., 1936 r. i 1955 r. Pierwszy z układów obowiązywał do 31grudnia 1999 r. Drugi został zawarty na czas nieoznaczony i reguluje współczesny status prawnomiędzynarodowy Kanału. Dzięki tym układom Panama odzyskała władanie suwerenne formalne i efektywne nad całym swym terytorium: nad dawną Strefą Kanału, Kanałem Panamskim i instalacjami wojskowymi. Panama przejęła odpowiedzialność za utrzymanie i funkcjonowanie Kanału i udostępniania go na zasadach otwartości dla żeglugi morskiej. Kilkuletni okres negocjacji przebiegał w trudnych warunkach. Dyplomacji panamskiej udało się uzyskać dla swych starań liczące się poparcie społeczności międzynarodowej, w tym ONZ i OPA. Ważną okolicznością była także skłonność administracji Cartera do zawarcia satysfakcjonujących obie strony traktatów i uregulowania trudnych stosunków z Panamą. Z perspektywy czasu należy uznać zawarcie układów Torrijos-Carter za największy sukces dyplomatyczny Panamy, o ważnych skutkach dla gospodarki tego kraju i żeglugi morskiej. Po upływie kilkudziesięciu lat od tamtych wydarzeń, ocena ta pozo-staje w pełni aktualna.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to find out the future development of the Panama Canal after opening of the new waterway (third set of locks project), in terms of the change of cargo throughput, further deployment of fleets by the shipping companies and competition for the canal. Design/methodology/approach The research of this paper is based on an empiric study by collecting the relevant data from annual report of the Panama Canal Authority, publications related to the same field. Graphs pertaining to toll revenue also are made based on statistical data provided by the Panama Canal Authority. Findings The findings show that the opening of the new waterway of the Panama Canal generates more toll revenue for Panama government by allowing mega-vessels to transit, expediting further economic development of the country largely from behind. At the same time, shipping operators also can enjoy earning more revenue by deploying New Panamax vessels transiting the Canal. Originality/value Ingenuity in tabling the users of the Panama Canal by incorporating the logo marks of the shipping companies/implication is drawn through empirical analysis to provide the shipping companies and ports authorities concerned with more understanding toward the very significance of the new waterway expansion of the Panama Canal.

Full textAbstract:
The flora and fauna of Panama is species-rich due to its location and topography, and the resulting diversity of microclimates and habitats. The last two summaries (benchmarks) of information about the caddisfly fauna (Insecta, Trichoptera) Panama were published in1992 and 2015. From 1861 to 2015, researchers from outside of Panama recorded 13 families, 45 genera, and 257 species of caddisflies. From 2015 through 2023, a series of publications by the Aquatic Invertebrate Research Group at the Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí in David, Panamá have recorded an additional 2 families,11 genera, and 278 species. Thus, a total of 535 species of caddisflies, now recorded from the Republic of Panama, are distributed among 15 families and 56 genera. Panama’s Trichoptera fauna shows greatest affinity to other Central American countries, and to Costa Rica in particular. Indeed, 289 Costa Rican species are shared with Panama, including 91 former Costa Rican endemics now known from both countries. The Hydroptilidae is the most species rich family in Panama. Although the number of new species and new country records of macro-Trichoptera has diminished somewhat over this third benchmark period, no similar fall-off has yet been detected in the micro-Trichoptera. The caddisfly fauna of Panama is now better known, but much more work remains to define the fauna and, just as importantly, to map the surficial and altitudinal distribution of each genus and species.

Despite being a minority, Panamanian Muslims have the longest historical history of any Central American region. Based on this, this article aims to explain the process of the entry of Islam into Panama, and explain how the development of da'wah civilization and the Muslim community in Panama, especially after the construction of the Panama Canal mega project. This type of research is qualitative research using historical research methods, with the following steps: 1) Heuristics or source collection through library research; 2) Source Criticism, namely comparison activities and selecting the validity of sources; 3) This interpretation or analysis stage has occurred either at the beginning of the research or during the post-research analysis process; 4) historiography or the last stage of this research in the form of historical scientific writings. The results of the study show that Islam entered Panam through Mandika slaves brought during the Spanish colonization there, but the development of Islamic da'wah only began to be intense during and after the construction of the canal, this da'wah was intensively carried out by Arab and South Asian immigrants, and reached its peak in 1850-1860's. Panama's constitution provides for religious freedom. Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, and several traditional Panamanian religions coexist in harmony. So far, Panama has given a positive picture of the Central America region which is very conducive and open to religious differences, especially in Islam.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Bay Wren (Thryothorus nigricapillus) is distributed from Costa Rica to Ecuador and includes seven described subspecies, five of which occur in the Caribbean lowlands of Panama. The subspecies vary in plumage characters, with particularly striking differences between Bay Wrens from western Panama (to the north), and eastern Panama (to the south). We surveyed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation from a geographically broad sample of Bay Wrens and compared the phylogeographic structure of mtDNA diversity with previously described patterns of morphological variation. The mtDNA-based phylogeographic reconstructions revealed a basal split separating populations in far eastern Panama and South America from those in central Panama through Costa Rica. These two clades are concordant with previous morphology-based groupings of T. nigricapillus subspecies into the “castaneus group” (costaricensis, odicus, castaneus, and reditus) and the “nigricapillus group” (schottii, connectens, and nigricapillus). Morphological intergradation between the two groups takes place in central Panama, but all intergrades possess the mtDNA haplotype of the castaneus group, suggesting that mitochondrial gene flow is introgressing from west to east. In spite of the marked body size and plumage variation present among subspecies of the castaneus group, mtDNA variation within this group was low. At a deeper phylogenetic level, the mtDNA data support recognition of the Riverside Wren, T. semibadius, as a full species. This taxon has sometimes been considered conspecific with T. nigricapillus, but the high mtDNA divergence between these species is consistent with previous suggestions that the morphological similarity results from convergence in plumage traits. Filogeografía del ADN Mitocondrial del Complejo de Thryothorus nigricapillus Resumen. Thryothorus nigricapillus se distribuye desde Costa Rica hasta Ecuador e incluye siete subespecies, de las cuales cinco se encuentran en las tierras bajas caribeñas de Panamá. Las subespecies varían en plumaje, con diferencias particularmente notables entre Thryothorus nigricapillus del occidente de Panamá (hacia el norte), y aquellas del oriente de Panamá (hacia el sur). Examinamos la variación entre secuencias de ADN mitocondrial (mtADN) de una muestra geográficamente amplia de Thryothorus nigricapillus y comparamos la estructura filogeográfica de la diversidad de mtADN con patrones previamente descritos de variación morfológica. Las reconstrucciones filogeográficas basadas en las secuencias de mtADN revelaron una división basal entre las poblaciones del este de Panamá y Sudamérica, y las poblaciones que se encuentran desde el centro de Panamá hasta Costa Rica. Estos dos clados corresponden a las agrupaciones previamente definidas con base en caracteres morfológicos, dividiendo las subespecies de T. nigricapillus en dos grupos: el “grupo castaneus” (costaricensis, odicus, castaneus y reditus) y el “grupo nigricapillus” (schottii, connectens y nigricapillus). Entre los dos grupos ocurre intergradación morfológica en Panamá central, pero las formas intermedias tienen haplotipos de mtADN característicos del grupos castaneus, sugiriendo que el flujo genético mitocondrial es introgresivo de oeste a este. A pesar de la notable variación en tamaño corporal y plumaje entre las subespecies del grupo castaneus, la variación de mtADN dentro de este grupo fue baja. A un nivel filogenético más profundo, los datos de mtADN apoyan el reconocimiento de T. semibadius como especie. Este taxón ocasionalmente ha sido considerado coespecífico con T. nigricapillus, pero la marcada divergencia a nivel de mtADN entre estas especies es consistente con previas sugerencias de que la semejanza morfológica es resultado de convergencia en caracteres del plumaje.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to fit a logit model for dry bulkers transporting grains through the Panama Canal versus alternative routes destined to East Asia, originating on the US Gulf and East Coast. This is with the purpose of better understanding the attributes. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, grain transits both through the Panama Canal and alternative routes, which are examined, and a logit model is developed to explain the route decision from a carrier/vessel operator point of view. Findings Transit draft is the most important attribute in the route decision process for grains according to this study. Also, Panamax bulkers are the preferred vessel size into China, especially through the Cape of Good Hope route, impacting Panama Canal’s market share for grains. Research limitations/implications This research used only a full year of grain traffic data approximating fiscal year 2018 (October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018). Data will come mostly from the Panama Canal transit data and observations using IHS’s Market Intelligence Network (MINT). Originality/value This paper is highly dependent on visual observations of grains vessels through alternative routes using AIS data from MINT software.

Full textAbstract:
The presented study illustrates the characterisation of several artificial materials (bedding, joint mortars, and plasters) belonging to the masonries of the UNESCO site of Panamá Viejo, located in Panama City (Panama). This monumental site represents the first Spanish settlement on the Pacific Coast, founded 500 years ago, in 1519. Through mineralogical and petrographic analyses of the collected samples, as stereomicroscope and polarized light microscopy (PLM) observations of bulk and thin sections, respectively, environmental scanning electron microscopy and micro-chemical investigations (ESEM-EDX) and X-Ray Powder diffraction (XRPD) analysis, it was possible to identify the composition of the materials utilized for the production of mortars and plasters, in addition to the determination of their state of conservation. Therefore, this work represents a substantial step for the preservation of the Panamá Viejo site, in order to support the selection of the most suitable restoration products, such as consolidants, protectives, etc., but also for choosing the most compatible materials for possible replacements/integrations in the masonries.

Full textAbstract:
The historical Chagres River Basin, which serves as the basin for the Panama Canal, extends some 3,260 kilometers in length and is not only the most important river basin in Panama but also one of the most strategic river basins in the world. Its two major lakes — Gatún and Alhajuela — function as reservoirs for the water needed to operate the inter-oceanic canal as well as to supply the water requirements of both Panamá City and Colón, urban concentrations that contain more than half the country's population.Gatún Lake was created in 1913, when the Chagres River was closed off at its Atlantic outlet, while the Alhajuela was created in 1934 by damming up the Madden River in the high, mountainous part of the country.

Un pasado de tensiones
Modern Panama cubre nuestra historia reciente a partir de 1980. El primer capítulo, sin embargo, se remonta a los orígenes de Panamá como Estado nominalmente independiente, tras su separación de Colombia en 1903. Este capítulo enfatiza las tensiones entre Panamá y Estados Unidos a lo largo del siglo XX, que culminaron en los acontecimientos del 9 de enero de 1964. En esa ocasión, tres días de protesta nacionalista dejaron un trágico saldo de 25 muertos (incluidos cuatro soldados estadounidenses). Los autores destacan el trato discriminatorio recibido por muchos panameños en la Zona del Canal bajo administración estadounidense (1904-1979). Los panameños eran excluidos y, a menudo, intimidados por los “zonians” y funcionarios de la Zona del Canal, contribuyendo así a crear relaciones poco saludables entre ambas partes.
El golpe militar de 1968—y la dictadura de 21 años a la cual dio origen—también son abordados en el primer capítulo. El golpe de 1968 impulsó el ascenso al poder de la Guardia Nacional, inicialmente dominada por dos oficiales, Boris Martínez y Omar Torrijos. A principios del año siguiente, Torrijos depuso a Martínez y, en colaboración con agencias estadounidenses de inteligencia, lo envió al exilio a Miami. Durante los siguientes doce años, Torrijos fue el dictador de Panamá. Después de firmar con Estados Unidos dos tratados sobre el canal, en 1977, anunció un supuesto “retorno a la democracia”. Relajó las restricciones a la actividad política y, en 1978, seleccionó para presidente de la República a uno de sus colaboradores, Aristides Royo.

Abstract: The status of seabirds and other colonial waterbirds along the Caribbean coast of Panama has never been determined comprehensively. Surveying the entire Caribbean coast of Panama and Lago Bayano, we found six species of seabirds and other colonial waterbirds nesting at eight sites. Brown Boobies (Sula leucogaster) nested at five sites, while other seabirds along the coast nested at only one site each. Red-billed Tropicbirds (Phaethon aethereus) nested at Isla de los Pájaros and Audubon’s Shearwaters (Puffinus lherminieri) at Cayos Tigre. Lago Bayano had two nesting sites of Cocoi Herons (Ardea cocoi) and Neotropic Cormorants (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) and one of Great Egrets (Ardea alba). More species and numbers of waterbirds occurred along the coast in April than in June. The Caribbean coast of Panama is clearly an important area for wintering colonial waterbirds. However, it supports limited nesting of seabirds. No nesting was found in coastal wetlands, despite there being extensive areas of apparently suitable habitat. Inland, Lago Bayano supports nesting herons and cormorants, and foraging sites for spoonbills, storks, and other herons. This study is the third in a series aiming to document the nesting status of seabirds and other colonial waterbirds in coastal Panama, allowing a comparison to be made of the two coasts. Colonial waterbird nesting populations on the Caribbean coast are only 2% of those of the Pacific coast, and more species of waterbirds nest on the Pacific. We suggest that differences are due to oceanographic factors and climatic conditions that differ between the two coasts.

Resumen: Aves marinas y otras aves acuáticas coloniales en la costa del Caribe de Panamá—El estado de las aves marinas y otras aves acuáticas coloniales a lo largo de la costa del Caribe de Panamá nunca ha sido determinado de manera exhaustiva. Con el muestreo de toda la costa del Caribe de Panamá y Lago Bayano encontramos seis especies de aves marinas y otras aves acuáticas coloniales nidificando en ocho sitios. Sula leucogaster nidificó en cinco de los sitios mientras que las otras aves marinas en la costa nidificaron en un solo sitio cada una. Phaethon aethereus nidificó en Isla de los Pájaros y Puffinus lherminieri en Cayos Tigre. Lago Bayano tenia dos sitios de nidificación de Ardea cocoi y Phalacrocorax brasilianus y uno de Ardea alba. El número de especies e individuos de aves acuáticas a lo largo de la costa fueron mayores en abril que en junio. La costa del Caribe de Panamá es claramente un área de invernada importante para las aves acuáticas coloniales. Sin embargo, mantiene un número limitado de aves marinas nidificantes. No se encontró ningún nido en los humedales costeros a pesar de ser áreas muy extensas con hábitats aparentemente adecuados. En el interior, en Lago Bayano sí existen nidificaciones de garzas y cormoranes así como sitios de forrajeo para espátulas, cigüeñas y otras garzas. Este estudio es el tercero de una serie dirigida a documentar el estado de la nidificación de las aves marinas y otras aves acuáticas coloniales en la costa panameña lo que permite realizar una comparación entre ambas costas. Las poblaciones de aves marinas coloniales de la costa del Caribe son sólo un 2% de aquellas de la costa del Pacífico y un mayor número de especies de aves acuáticas también nidifican en esta última. Sugerimos que las diferencias son debidas a factores oceanográficos y a condiciones climáticas que difieren entre ambas costas.

Résumé: Oiseaux marins et autres oiseaux d’eau coloniaux de la côte caribéenne du Panama—Le statut des oiseaux marins et des oiseaux d’eau coloniaux le long de la côte caribéenne du Panama n’a jamais été déterminé de manière exhaustive. Lors de l’étude de l’ensemble de la côte caribéenne du Panama et Lago Bayano, nous avons observé six espèces d’oiseaux marins et autres oiseaux d’eau coloniaux nichant sur huit sites. Le Fou brun (Sula leucogaster) nichait sur cinq sites, tandis que les autres oiseaux marins le long de la côte nichaient chacun sur un seul site. Le Phaéton à bec rouge (Phaethon aethereus) nichait à Isla de los Pájaros et le Puffin d’Audubon (Puffinus lherminieri) à Cayos Tigre. Lago Bayano comprenait deux sites de nidification de Héron cocoi (Ardea cocoi) et de Cormoran vigua (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) et un de Grande Aigrette (Ardea alba). Le nombre d’espèces et les effectifs d’oiseaux d’eau présents sur la côte étaient plus importants en avril qu’en juin. La côte caribéenne du Panama est clairement une zone importante pour l’hivernage des oiseaux d’eau coloniaux. Cependant, la nidification des oiseaux marins y est assez limitée. Aucune nidification n’a été observée dans les zones humides côtières, malgré l’existence de vastes zones d’habitat apparemment approprié. À l’intérieur des terres, le Lago Bayano accueille des hérons et des cormorans nicheurs ainsi que des sites d’alimentation de spatules, de cigognes et d’autres hérons. Cette étude est la troisième d’une série visant à documenter le statut de nidification des oiseaux marins et d’autres oiseaux d’eau coloniaux sur le littoral du Panama, et à comparer les deux côtes. Les populations nicheuses d’oiseaux marins coloniaux sur la côte caribéenne ne représentent que 2% de celles de la côte du Pacifique sur laquelle un plus grand nombre d’espèces d’oiseaux d’eau nichent. Nous estimons que les différences sont dues aux facteurs océanographiques et aux conditions climatiques qui varient entre les deux côtes.

Full textAbstract:
This comparative study of naturally occurring apologies in Cuernavaca and Panamanian Spanish investigates the apology strategies community members employ most often, and the types of positive- and negative-politeness strategies they use to perform this speech act. The authors calculate the frequency with which speakers use positive- and negative-politeness strategies in their apology acts and investigate whether members of these two speech communities demonstrate a preference for positive or negative politeness when apologizing. Instead of using a language-specific parameter such as “Spanish Language” and assuming that all native speakers of this language have and will use a closed set of linguistic strategies in the same way when they apologize, the authors argue that speech acts, politeness and face are socio-culturally sensitive variables whose values and effects vary between communities of practice. To support this claim, they show how the communities of Cuernavaca, Mexico and Panama City, Panama differ from previous findings on apologizing within different communities of practice in the Spanish-speaking world.

AbstractFunctional status assessed by the WHO-FC scale derived from adults is a known prognostic factor for pulmonary hypertension. Data on the usefulness of the Panama-FC scale in assessing children with pulmonary hypertension are limited. The study was performed to compare functional status results (WHO-FC and Panama-FC) and to assess the usefulness of these scales in various clinical situations. The reliability of the Panama-FC questionnaire method for facilitating patient evaluation was also examined. 26 functional status assessments (7 in disease progression/after treatment intensification) in both scales were analyzed in 19 patients with PAH confirmed in RHC. WHO-FC, Panama-FC scales, and questionnaire-based on Panama-FC were conducted independently by three different physicians. Results of assessments were compared with each other and with 6MWD, NTproBNP level, and echo parameters (TAPSE, RV/LV ratio). The Panama-FC scale results obtained using the medical interview method and questionnaire did not differ. Both WHO-FC and Panama-FC classes well-reflected disease advancement confirmed by non-invasive parameters (NTproBNP, 6MWD, TAPSE, RV/LV ratio). Differences between grading the class in both scales were observed: 5pts were classified to II (Panama-FC) vs I (WHO-FC), 2pts were in lower risk group in WHO-FC (II) vs Panama (IIIa). Worsening or improvement after treatment intensification in functional status in both scales was connected with the significant change of NTproBNP level. The 6-min walking distance did not change. TAPSE, RV/LV ratio changed significantly in 3pts with IPAH, accordingly to change in WHO-FC and Panama-FC. WHO-FC and Panama-FC well reflect the disease advancement. The questionnaire method simplified the use of the Panama-FC scale. The Panama-FC scale appears to be better for assessing functional status during long-term follow-up, while the WHO-FC scale was more useful in short-term treatment monitoring.

The old Panama Canal was built without steel reinforcement but the new one considered reinforcement as part of the antiseismic design. The Panama Canal Authority (ACP), established a lifespan of 100 years, for which it specified values from the ASTM 1202 method lower than 1000 Coulombs and the estimation of the lifespan by means of a program. The results of both Coulombs resistivity and diffusion coefficients, obtained after natural diffusion, are discussed for some of the designed mixtures. The numerical calculations of service lifespan, as obtained by LIFEPRED method, are also shown.Keywords: concrete; chlorides; resistivity; diffusion.

This note presents the first record of Coccyzus lansbergi (Bonaparte, 1850) for the southwest coast of Panama. This new record was made on July 11, 2018, in the rural community of Juan Hombrón, Coclé province, Panama. The species has been previously observed in eastern Panama, but this is the first record for the southwestern region of the country. Our record is at least 142 km southwest of its nearest reports in eastern Panama. Overall, this record indicates that the species is likely a vagrant from its known range, given that no other records have been documented south of Coclé, in Panama. In addition, the increasing number of records from eastern Panama over the last 30 years suggests a recent expansion in the northern range of the species.

Introduction: Studies conducted in 1984 demonstrated the presence of Mansonella ozzardi in the Darien and Colon provinces. Since then, there have not been further reports of this parasitic infection in Panama. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional assessment of peripheral blood samples of individuals across Panama over a 4-year period (2013–2016) as part of malaria surveillance activities. Results: We identified microfilaria in 96 cases. Most of these cases were found in East Panama (78%) followed by the Darien region (22%). Mansonella ozzardi was the filarial parasite identified by morphological features in all cases. Conclusion: After 36 years of epidemiological silence, we identified human cases of Mansonella ozzardi infection in Panama. This is, however, the first report of this filarial parasite’s presence in the Eastern region of Panama. There is a need for further surveillance efforts to elucidate the epidemiology associated with Mansonella infections in Panama.

Full textAbstract:
The work is a taxonomic revision of 28 species of the genus Chrysina Kirby (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini) found in Panama (25), Colombia (2), and Ecuador (3). Chrysina tricolor (Ohaus), Chrysina chalcothea (Bates), and Chrysina cupreomarginata (F. Bates) are new records for Panama. A new country record from northern Colombia is confirmed for Chrysina mercedesae Barria. Chrysina gaitalica Curoe and Hawks and Chrysina galbina Hawks are discovered at new localities in Panama; females of both species are discovered and described. Chrysina aurora (Bates) known from other localities in the west of the country, is rediscovered in Veraguas province 147 years after its description based on a female, the only specimen that had been collected in the province. Chrysina wolfi (Ohaus) is placed as a new junior synonym of Chrysina argenteola (Bates). A neotype is designated for Chrysina ohausi (Franz) according to ICZN Article 75.3. The oreicola group is proposed to include Chrysina oreicola (Morón). Photographs of adults, illustrations of diagnostic characters, distribution maps, and taxonomic keys (in English and Spanish) for the identification of the species present in Panama, Colombia and Ecuador are presented. El presente trabajo consiste en una revisión taxonómica de 28 especies del género Chrysina Kirby (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini), 25 presentes en Panamá, 2 en Colombia y 3 en Ecuador. Chrysina tricolor (Ohaus), Chrysina chalcothea (Bates) y Chrysina cupreomarginata (F. Bates) son nuevos registros para Panamá. Se confirma un nuevo registro del norte de Colombia correspondientes a Chrysina mercedesae Barria. Chrysina gaitalica Curoe y Hawks y Chrysina galbina Hawks se descubren en nuevas localidades de Panamá; se descubren y describen hembras de ambas especies. Chrysina aurora (Bates) conocida en otras localidades del oeste del país, es redescubierta en la provincia de Veraguas después de 147 años desde su descripción a partir de una hembra, único ejemplar que había sido recolectado en la provincia. Chrysina wolfi (Ohaus) se considera una nueva sinonimia menor de Chrysina argenteola (Bates). Se asigna un neotipo a Chrysina ohausi (Franz) por aplicación del artículo 75.3 del CINZ. Se propone el grupo oreicola para incluir a Chrysina oreicola (Morón). Se presentan fotografías de adultos, ilustraciones de caracteres diagnósticos, mapas de distribución y claves taxonómicas (en Inglés y Español) para la identificación de las especies presentes en Panamá, Colombia y Ecuador.
