Measurements (mm). N = 5 males or 10 females, mean (range). Length of body: male 28.68 (25.4–30.0), female 26.91 (25.2–28.1); length of fore wing: male 39.94 (36.6–42.9), female 39.48 (36.7–41.9); width of fore wing: male 12.52 (11.5–13.1), female 12.42 (11.2–13.3); length of head: male 3.90 (3.8–4.0), female 3.81 (3.5– 4.0); width of head including eyes: male 7.30 (7.0–7.4), female 7.42 (7.0–7.8); width of pronotum including suprahumeral plates: male 11.56 (10.9–12.4), female 11.78 (10.8–12.6); width of mesonotum: male 8.46 (8.1–9.0), female 8.60 (8.1–9.0).
Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all species of Procollina but P. guatemalensis n. sp. and P. ulnamaculata n. sp. by the infuscation spots in the fore wing ulnar cells 2 and 3. This species is larger than the other two with the mesonotum width greater than 8 mm and pronotal width greater than 10.8 mm generally distinguishing the species. In addition, the lateral uncus lobes of this species have a knob-like extension where they bend not found in the other species, and female sternite VII is transverse on either side of notch before expanding posteriorly in a semicircle to the lateral transverse margin in this new species.
Distribution. The species is known only from the type series collected in Guatemala and Honduras.
