Zaphanta infantilis Dyar, 1910
(Fig. 29)
Type locality. French Guiana, Guyana [USNM syntype, Guyana, examined]
Zaphanta infantilis is the sole representative of the genus Zaphanta, and is one of the smallest Mimallonidae . This species is broadly distributed in Central America and South America (Schaus 1928) and in actuality the name infantilis likely includes multiple species (St Laurent unpublished). As is the case for Lacosoma valva, the only Trinidad specimens known to us were taken at light in lowland forest (Valencia Forest; see comments under Alheita caudina above).
Material examined. (2 ♂ total) TRINIDAD: 2 ♂, 2.5 mi. SE of Valencia, Valencia Forest: IV.1980, M.J.W. Cock [leg.], MV light (NHMUK, MJWC) .
