“ Cyclophora ” urcearia (Guenée, 1858)
Identified by comparison with the type (NHMUK, ♂ French Guiana), type of Pryoptera candara Druce (NHMUK,? ♂ Chiriqui, a form of Anisodes importaria Möschler , a synonym) and NHMUK series. Speyside, MVL: ♀ 14–17 May 1982 (M.J.W. Cock) [MJWC]
Cyllopoda gibbifrons Prout, 1917
Cyllopoda gibbifrons Prout : Lewis and Covell (2008)
Identified from Lewis and Covell (2008), who include Tobago in the distribution of this species, but list no material examined.
Charlotteville-Speyside Ridge, amongst cacao: ♀ 15 May 1982 (M.J.W. Cock) [MJWC]
Cyllopoda jatropharia (Linnaeus, 1758)
Cyllopoda jatropharia jatropharia (Linnaeus) : Lewis and Covell (2008)
Cyllopoda jatropharia puta (Strand) : Lewis and Covell (2008)

Charlotteville: ♀ 24 Oct 2015 (K. Sookdeo photo, Tobago Moths 2) ; Tobago: ♀ (M. Kelly, photo) ; Scar- borough: ♀ viii.1913 [ NHMUK]
Idaea cellifimbria (Prout, 1922)
Identified by comparison with the type (NHMUK, ♀ Trinidad; ♂ type not located) and NHMUK series. I consider this a variable and sexually dimorphic species. There are several older names, some of which may well be synonymous ( I. adipata Schaus, 1913 , I. purpureovittata Warren, 1906 , I. umbrimargo Dyar, 1914 ); I have used I. cellifimbriaria since it is described from Trinidad, but recognize that future work may reduce it to a synonym of one of these older names.
