Eupinivora parotanus ( Razowski & Becker, 2010) , new combination

Henricus parotanus Razowski & Becker, 2010: 435 .

Henricus parotanus was described from a male and a female from Cofre de Parote, Veracruz, Mexico. Razowski and Becker (2010) commented “Facies resembling Rhyacionia Hubner [1925].” The forewing shape (long and slender) and maculation ( Rhyacionia or Retinia -like), the absence of a cornutus in the vesica, and the absence of a hair pencil from the base of the valva in the male genitalia all deviate from most species of Henricus . In facies and genitalia (male and female), Henricus parotanus (see Razowski and Becker 2010: figs. 1, 2, 23, 29, 30) is extremely similar to Eupinivora rufofascia Brown, 2013 (see Brown 2013: figs. 8, 14, 18). On the basis of these similarities, parotanus is transferred to Eupinivora . Eupinivora parotanus can be separated from E. rufofascia by the following features of the male genitalia: in E. parotanus the spines from the sacculus are shorter than those of E. rufofascia ; in E. rufofascia the distal portion of the median process of the transtilla has an abruptly attenuate distal process in the apical 0.2 compared to the evenly rounded apex of E. parotanus ; and in E. rufofascia the phallus has a strong internal sclerite that is absent in E. parotanus . The addition of E. parotanus to the genus increases the known geographic distribution of Eupinivora to the state of Veracruz, Mexico, and the elevational range to 3300 m.
