Carineta pilifera Walker, 1858a new record

Carineta pilifera Walker 1858a: 314 . (Bogota, Colombia)

Carineta bilineosa (non Walker) Jacobi 1907: 16, Plate 1, Fig. 21.

REMARKS. Metcalf (1963c) listed Cundinamarca as the type locality but Walker (1858a) lists Bogota and should be considered the type locality. Jacobi (1907) described and illustrated a specimen he determined to be C. bilineosa that was shown to be C. pilifera based on the ovoid body, the longitudinal piceous mark on the posterior dorsal prothorax between rounded elevations of the disc, the lack of a transverse piceous mark in the ambient fissure, the presence of the a piceous mark between the anterior arms of the cruciform elevation, greater pilosity, shape of the ulnar and apical cells of the fore wing, and the hyaline wings ( Sanborn 2019b).

This is another of the large species heavily marked with piceous with a spot of infuscation on the end apex of anal cell 2 in the hind wing. It can be quickly distinguished from C. centralis and C. trivittata by the bronzed fore wings and spot of infuscation in the distal radial cell of the hind wing of these species. It can be distinguished from C. basalis , C. postica Walker, 1858b and C. ventralis Jacobi, 1907 by the lack of infuscation on the fore wings radial and radiomedial crossveins.

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported previously from Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013) with the range recently expanded to include Bolivia ( Sanborn 2019b). Specimens from Peru connect the northern populations to the Bolivian representatives currently at the southern range of the distribution.
