35. Argyrotaenia citharexylana (Zeller, 1866) (Fig. 13).

This charismatic and sometimes common species was described from Colombia but is also found in Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia (NHMUK, USNM, VBC). The immature stages are unknown.

Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. Francisco Morazán, Tegucigalpa, La Tigre, 1800 m, 24 Aug 2000 (1 adult), V. Becker (VBC) . Another specimen of Argyrotaenia from Honduras appears to represent A. citharexylana . Unfortunately, the specimen is too worn for meaningful comparisons with photographs on iNaturalist, and identifications in this group on that website are suspect.

Specimen examined: Honduras, Dept. Francisco Morazán, [El] Zamorano, Escuela Agrícola Panamericana, 20 Sep 1981 (1 adult), S. Passoa (CUIC) .
