Carineta acommosis Sanborn 2020b: 53 . ( Rio Tambopata Reserve, 30 km (air) SW of Puerto Maldonado, 290m, Madre de Dios, Peru)

REMARKS.— Carineta acommosis is most similar to C. apicalis Distant, 1883 and C. naponore Boulard, 1986a of the Ecuadorian fauna. It is a small to medium sized (body lengths 19.75–21.85 mm), non-descript, green species. This species can be distinguished from C. apicalis and C. naponore by the finger-like medial extension of the male operculum and the broader posterior prothorax producing a more triangular anterior, the frons that does not form at an approximate right angle to the vertex and the abdomen tapers toward the posterior in C. apicalis and C. naponore, and the basal lobe appendages are large flattened lobes in C. apicalis and similar but smaller basal lobe appendages in C. naponore . It is a smaller version of the Ecuadorian species group composed of C. cyrili Champanhet, 1999, C. dicrophryxothrix Sanborn, 2020b, C. gemella Boulard, 1986a, C. lichiana Boulard, 1986a, and C. socia Uhler, 1875 all of which have a similar general appearance but larger body size (> 25 mm).

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru (Sanborn 2020b). It was reported from Napo province in Ecuador.
