Carineta ventrilloni Boulard, 1986a new record

Carineta ventrilloni Boulard 1986a: 422 . (Rancho-Grande, 1100-1200 m, Venezuela)

REMARKS. This species is another of the group of Peruvian species that are of similar size and general morphology including C. dicrophryxothrix n. sp., C. dolosa , C. doxiptera , C. gemella , C. hamata , C. rumipataensis n. sp., C. socia , C. ventrilloni , and C. viridicata . This species can be distinguished from C. dicrophryxothrix n. sp., C. gemella , C. hamata , C. socia , and C. viridicata by the curved rather than straight posterior margin of the operculum in these species. Specimens of C. rumipataensis n. sp. can be distinguished by the finger-like medial extension to the operculum. The dark bronzing of the distal wings, the more acutely angled primary spine and the pygofer basal lobe appendage curving to the ipsilateral side and terminating in a V-shape distinguishes C. dolosa from C. ventrilloni . Finally, C. doxiptera can be distinguished primarily by the basal pygofer lobe appendage that terminates in two equal length extensions and the posterior opercular margin forming an obtuse angle to the lateral opercular margin.

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported previously from Venezuela ( Boulard 1986a; Sanborn 2013).
