( Venezuela ) Carineta balsalis (sic) Goding 1925: 7 . REMARKS.—This is the first of thirteen Ecuadorian species with infuscation on the distal hind wing anal cell 2. The species with the infuscation in the hind wing anal cell 2 include C. basalis , C. centralis Distant, 1892b , C. crumena Goding, 1925 , C. detoulgoueti Champanhet, 2001 , C. fimbriata Distant, 1891 , C. maculosa Torres, 1948 , C. pilifera Walker, 1858a , C. porioni Champanhet, 2001 , C. postica Walker, 1858b , C. producta Walker, 1858b , C. tracta Distant, 1892b , C. trivittata Walker, 1858b , and C, ventralis Jacobi, 1907a . Carineta basalis can be distinguished from all other species by the piceous fascia on the dorsal pronotal midline, the hyaline fore wings and the large male opercula. Although C. crumena has large opercula, the radial and radiomedial crossveins in the fore wing are also infuscated. DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Colombia , Ecuador , Peru , and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963c ; Sanborn 2013; 2020b). The species has been recorded from Ecuador without specific location ( Jacobi 1907a ). Goding (1925) reported the species from Nanegal, Machachi, and Quito in Pichincha province .
