Carineta tracta Distant, 1892b

Carineta tracta Distant 1892b: 320 . ( Ecuador)

Carineta turbida (nec Jacobi) Berger 2001: 14, Table 1, 17, 41–42, Fig. 16, 53, Fig. 21, 54–55, Tble 2.

REMARKS.—Another of the large species of Carineta heavily marked with piceous and a spot of infuscation on the apex of the hind wing anal cell 2. It can be distinguished quickly from C. centralis , C. fimbriata , C. producta and C. trivittata by the spot of infuscation on the mediocubital crossvein in the hind wing of these species. The lack of linear infuscation in the fore wing apical cells distinguishes C. maculosa and C. ventralis from this species. It can be distinguished from C. detoulgoueti , C. porioni and C. postica by the monochromatic mesothorax with only the submedian sigillae outlined in piceous.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported only from Ecuador ( Metcalf 1963c; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013). Goding (1925) reported the species from Macas, Morona Santiago province and Rio Mangavisa.
