Synanthedon martenii Zukowsky, 1936:1224 View in CoL .

Diagnosis. Female ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 - 6 ) (male unknown). Wing length 10.5 mm. Most noticeable about Synanthedon martenii is the bright yellow orange on the broad outer margin and contrasting dark discal spot of the otherwise hyaline forewing. The abdomen has very narrow yellow bands on all but the first segment.

Redescription. Head with brown black; front brown black, white laterally; occipital fringe yellow orange; labial palpus smooth, yellow orange, brown black apically; antenna brown black. Thorax brown black; yellow orange subdorsal stripe; yellow orange beneath wing and dorsoposteriorly on metathorax. Abdomen dorsally brown black with very narrow yellow bands on posterior edge of all segments except segment 1; ventrally with segment 2 solid yellow, 3­6 with broad yellow bands posteriorly; anal tuft brown black tipped with yellow. Legs brown black, yellow ventrally. Forwing mostly hyaline with broad apical margin, bright orange; broad discal spot, brown black with orange distally; ventrally with apical area orange, costal margin yellow. Hindwing hyaline, some orange on apical margin.

Distribution. Known only from the holotype: presumably Brazil (possible Rio de Janeiro) ( Zukowsky 1936).

Type. martenii : Holotype female ­ BRAZIL: " Type; martenii, Marten ; Type: S. martenii Zuk. ; 62 (red circle), 26.10.20; Saarbrücken."

Remarks. This female is the only known specimen of martenii ; therefore, it was not dissected. Existing label data do not provide location information; consequently, the type locality is unknown to us.
