REMARKS. I found the same problem with the generic assignment of
Carineta guianaensis
while trying to identify specimens for this study. I (2011a) reported the head width (
5.35 mm
) being greater than the mesonotum width (
5.05 mm
) for this species as well, a characteristic of
Herrera
not
Carineta
. In addition, the lateral pronotum is not strongly angled mediad in this species as it is in species of
Carineta
. Therefore, based on the head being wider than the mesonotum and the shape of the prothorax, the species is reassigned to
Herrera
to become
Herrera guianaensis
(Sanborn, 2011a)
n. comb.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been recorded only from
French Guiana
(Sanborn 2011a).
