Cirrothaumatia tornosema
(
Clarke, 1968
)
(
Figs. 7
,
14–16
,
18
)
Type-locality:
Volcan Santa Maria, [
Quetzaltenango
],
Guatemala
.
Diagnosis
. Wing expanse:
12‒13mm
(n = 12). This species is easily distinguished by the female genitalia (
Fig. 7
), with a very short ductus bursae and constricted before merging into the bursa, with a long oblong bursa; with the accessory bursa small (one-half the size of that of
C. pichita
n. sp.
,
C. moyobamba
n. sp.
, and
C. vesta
, but larger than that of
C. huemboana
; lacking in
C. tornocarpa
).
Materials examined.

, black squares (Mexico: Veracruz; Guatemala: Quetzaltenango; Costa Rica: Cartago, Heredia, and Puntarenas; and Ecuador: Pichincha).
C. vesta
(Clarke)
, blue square (Venezuela: Aragua).
Biology
. Unknown.
Distribution
. Known from montane areas of southeastern
Mexico
(
Veracruz
) to western
Guatemala
(
Quetzaltenango
) and in
Costa Rica
(
Cartago
,
Heredia
, and
Puntarenas
), plus northern
Ecuador
(
Pichincha
).
Discussion
. Specimens of this species from Central America were identified by
Razowski and Becker (1986)
; the putative conspecific from
Ecuador
was identified by
Razowski and Pelz (2001)
. These specimens were not available for study, so details of the genitalia could not be verified, especially for the specimens from
Ecuador
and
Mexico
.
