I'm not sure where all the superfluous *'s have come from, but these
render your expression syntactically invalid, so I have removed them.
lst = {{
{{2.5},{3.8, 31},{54.23, 46.263, 45.987},{-82.1476, 5.17782, -205.36}},
{{2.5},{4.2, 30},{233.835, 46.469, 46.819},{93.8625, -13.9818,
-198.778}}},
{{{2.5},{4.1, 30},{139.845, 15.719, 155.87},{93.6633, 4.46398, -205.432}},
{{2.5},{2.6, 32},{113.381, 40.988, 85.09},{90.1206, 16.9792, -205.314}}},
{{{2.5},{3.1, 30},{113.858, 34.709, 87.567},{55.3298, 17.7214, -211.648}},
{{2.5},{2.7, 30},{110.54, 31.595, 85.601},{-25.8558, 175.588, -121.105}}
}}
You can use Part:
lst[[All, All, 4]]
{{{-82.1476, 5.17782, -205.36}, {93.8625, -13.9818, -198.778}},
{{93.6633, 4.46398, -205.432}, {90.1206, 16.9792, -205.314}},
{{55.3298, 17.7214, -211.648}, {-25.8558, 175.588, -121.105}}}
Or, if you insist on a solution with Map,
Map[#[[4]] &, lst, {2}]
{{{-82.1476, 5.17782, -205.36}, {93.8625, -13.9818, -198.778}},
{{93.6633, 4.46398, -205.432}, {90.1206, 16.9792, -205.314}},
{{55.3298, 17.7214, -211.648}, {-25.8558, 175.588, -121.105}}}
