Herrera tigrina
(
Boulard, 1986a
)
n. comb.
Carineta tigrina
Boulard 1986a: 427
. (Tiger Station,
French Guiana
)
REMARKS. I found a similar problem with the generic assignment of
Carineta tigrina
while trying to identify specimens for this study.
Boulard (1986a)
reports the head width (
5.5 mm
) being greater than the mesonotum width (
5.1 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 tigrina
(
Boulard, 1986a
)
n. comb.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been recorded from
French Guiana
(
Sanborn 2013
; 2011a).
