Carineta matura Distant, 1892a View in CoL

Carineta matura Distant 1892a: 321 View in CoL ( Venezuela).

Diagnosis. This is the smaller of the two Trinidadian species of Carineta . It can be distinguished from Carineta trinidadensis Sanborn, 2020a by the smaller body size ( 14–16 mm), hyaline wings without distal bronzing, and the presence of thoracic markings. The basal pygofer lobe appendage is curved distally at an approximate right angle with a terminus tapering to a point.

Distribution. The species has been reported from Brazil and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963b; Sanborn 2013) with recent range expansions to Peru ( Sanborn 2020b) and Trinidad ( Sanborn 2020a).
