The specimens from Trinidad that we have examined, closely match a male syntype of T. guianaca from French Guiana, and thus we assign the specimens from Trinidad to this species. As noted earlier, there is a strong similarity between the Mimallonidae fauna of French Guiana and that of Trinidad. Considering the fact that T. guianaca was described from an unspecified number of specimens from Brazil , Venezuela , and French Guiana , there is uncertainty surrounding the identity of this species. Therefore, we designate a lectotype for T. guianaca using a syntype in the USNM from French Guiana with the following labels: Trogoptera guianaca type Schaus/ Genitalia Slide By C.H. # 23 USNM 86051/ ♂ genitalia slide, 24 Mch.’28 C.H. #23/ Avril [April]/ Guyane Françse [ French Guiana ], Nouveau Chantier, Collection Le Moult/ Dognin Collection/ [Lecto] Type No. 33568 U.S. M.N./ USNM-Mimal: 1045/ LECTOTYPE ♂ Trogoptera guianaca Schaus designated by St Laurent and Cock, 2017 [red handwritten label]. This designation enables us to more accurately identify the specimens from Trinidad that we attribute to T. guianaca , and more importantly, offers stability as to the identity of the species T. guianaca . The few specimens are from diverse habitats in Trinidad : suburban (Curepe), lowland forest (Inniss Field), and high forest (Morne Bleu Textel Installation). Material examined.
