42. Argyrotaenia aff. artocopa (Meyrick, 1932) .

Several specimens of Argyrotaenia from Honduras are somewhat similar to the type of A. artocopa illustrated by Razowski (1964) from Costa Rica. Brown et al. (2019) reported that larvae of A. artocopa feed on Miconia dielsii and Tibouchina lepidota (both Melastomataceae) in Ecuador, but neither plant occurs in Honduras. However, most species of Argyrotaenia are highly polyphagous. There is no morphological information on the immature stages.
