Carineta tetraspila Jacobi, 1907 new record

Carineta tetraspila Jacobi 1907: 21 . (Callanga, Peru)

REMARKS. Another smaller Carineta species (body size <17 mm) in Bolivia. It is testaceous (may be greenish when fresh) with piceous markings in the pronotal sutures, surrounding the mesothoracic sigillae with a castaneous abdomen. The opercula are small and triangular with a rounded apex. The abdomen is ochraceous with a piceous medial stripe. It is most similar to C. garleppi with the mesothoracic sigillae being outlined in piceous in both species. It can be distinguished from C. garleppi by the complete mark across the dorsal midline of the prothorax ambient fissure, the lack of piceous markings on the lateral pronotum, and the longitudinal stripes on the ventral postclypeus in C. tetraspila . It can be distinguished from C. pictilis n. sp. by the mesothoracic sigillae being mostly or completely filled with piceous rather than being outlined by piceous as in C. tetraspila and can be distinguished from C. uncinata n. sp. by the lack of piceous on the mesothorax and the single midline spot on the pronotum ambient fissure rather than mesothoracic sigillae being outlined by piceous and the majority of the ambient fissure being filled with piceous in C. tetraspila .

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported previously only from Peru ( Metcalf 1963c).
