Maruina (Maruina) pilosella Müller nomen dubium

Maruina (Maruina) pilosella Müller, 1895: 30 .

Remarks. This species was designated by Enderlein (1936) as type-species of Maruina . The description of Müller (1895) lacks detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations, making it difficult to provide a diagnosis for this species. The material studied in the redescription provided by Barretto (1954) is currently the type material of M. (M.) barrettoi , as discussed above ( Bravo 2005). The holotype of this species seems to be lost. Müllers’s illustrations of dorsal view of head and thoracic segments of the larva, detail of respiratory horn of pupa in three views, adult wing, and dorsal and lateral views of male genitalia could be able to help identify new material of this species, but type locality is not accurate.

Type locality: probably Santa Catarina ( Hogue 1973) .
