77. Episimus semicirculanus (Walker, 1863) (Fig. 36).

Episimus semicirculanus and its junior synonym Episimus metaspilana (Walker, 1863) were both described from Honduras. The two were synonymized by Razowski & Brown (2008) who stated “in both sexes [of Episimus semicirculanus] the venter of the pedicel [of the antenna] has a roundish black patch of scales near the distal end, and this character, along with the forewing pattern [see Razowski & Brown 2008: fig. 77], immediately distinguishes E. semicirculanus from all congeners.” However, this may actually be a complex of species with a similar forewing pattern and black spot on the antennal pedicel. The immature stages are unknown.
