Carineta cyrili Champanhet, 1999

Carineta cyrili Champanhet 1999: 66 . (La Troncal, Cañar Province, Ecuador)

REMARKS.—This species is the first of a group of Ecuadorian species that are of similar size and general morphology including C. cyrili , C. dicrophryxothrix , C. gemella , C. lichiana , and C. socia . The basal pygofer lobe appendage is unique in each species of Carineta and is the most reliable way to distinguish the species. The basal pygofer lobe appendages are flattened, sinuate crossing the midline near their base and the terminus expands with a curved terminal margin. Carineta dicrophryxothrix can be distinguished by the curved rather than straight posterior opercular margin and curved rather than pointed medial opercular margin found in this species. It can be distinguished from C. socia by the lack of bronzing of the distal fore wings and fore wing apical cells that only possess longitudinal lines. Specimens of C. gemella and C. lichiana have a contrasting darker abdomen rather than the abdomen being the same color as the head and thorax characteristic of C. cyrili .

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported only from Ecuador (Sanborn 2013). It has been reported from Cañar Province ( Champanhet 1999) with new records for Pichincha province below that expand the known distribution in the country.
