Carineta peruviana Distant, 1905c new record

Carineta peruviana Distant 1905c: 486 . (Chandramayo, Peru)

REMARKS.—This is a heavily pilose species marked with piceous with hyaline wings. Boulard (1986b) noted C. imperfecta was similar to C. peruviana . Carineta peruviana can be distinguished by the head being much narrower than the mesonotum, the lateral pronotum reducing anteriorly to a greater degree, the rostrum reaching posterior to the posterior coxae, the submedian sigillae outlined in piceous, the linear infuscation in the fore wing apical cells, and the slightly narrower opercula found in C. peruviana .

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported previously from Peru ( Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2020b). Berger provided specimens from the Estacion Cientifica San Francisco, Zamora-Chinchipe Province. Additional records for Napo province are provided below.
