Carineta illustris

Carineta illustris
Distant 1905c: 483
. (Amazons and Iquitos,
Peru
)
REMARKS.—Another Ecuadorian
Carineta
species with infuscation in the fore wing but the infuscation is present at the base of both the fore wing and hind wing and extends to the distal anal cell 3 through anal cell 1 of the hind wing in
C. illustris
rather than being present on the apical cells of the wings as in
C. boliviana
and
C. ecuatoriana
, and
C. centralis
has a central fuscous spot near the distal radial cell of the hind wing along with a linear series of marginal spots in the fore wing. A more complete analysis and illustration of the characteristics of
C. illustris
are provided in
Sanborn (2016b)
.
DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from
Bolivia
,
Brazil
,
Colombia
,
Ecuador
, and
Peru
(
Metcalf 1963c
; Sanborn 2013; 2019b; 2020b).
Metcalf (1963c)
lists of Amazonas, a state in
Brazil
, rather than the Amazons found in the original references. Iquitos is found in the Peruvian Amazon but many specimens in the BMNH originated in the Brazilian Amazon. Since
Distant (1905c)
identified the localities individually,
Brazil
is considered to be part of the species distribution.
Goding (1925)
reported the species from Río Lliquino, Pastaza province.
