Carineta centralis Distant, 1892b

Carineta centralis Distant 1892b: 321 . ( Ecuador)

REMARKS. Another of the Carineta species with infuscation in the fore wing. The infuscation is found as a central fuscous spot near the distal hind wing radial cell along with marginal series of linear spots in the fore wing of C. centralis , but is found on the apical cells of both fore wing and hind wings along with distal anal cell 3 of the hind wing in both C. boliviana and C. lydiae , on the distal fore wing cubital cell and clavus of the fore wing and distal hind wing apical cell 3, distal anal cell 1 and wing margin of the hind wing in C. cearana , is restricted to the distal hind wing apical cells and distal apical cell 3 in C. boulardi , and at the wing bases in proximal fore wing and hind wing cells extending to distal hind wing anal cell 3 through anal cell 1 in C. illustris . Sanborn (2016b) described and illustrated the difference between C. cearana and C. illustris . Carineta trivittata Walker, 1858b also has a spot of infuscation on the distal radial cell of the hind wing but lacks the infuscation along the ambient vein and spots in the distal apical cells 2–5 found in C. centralis .

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported from Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru ( Metcalf 1963c). The species has been recorded from Mapiri and Yungas ( Jacobi 1907).
