Remarks
Although the holotype was collected in Costa Rica, most examined specimens of E. longiventris for this study are from Mexico. This is one of two species of Enderleiniella (the other is E. maculata) whose known range extends into the Nearctic Region, with specimens recorded in the Mexican states of San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas.
