Antenna 3.1–3.6 × as long as head width; longest terminal seta 3.5–4.0 × as long as short seta, and 0.6–0.8 × as long as segment 10. Labium with apical segment 0.3–0.4 × as long as medial segment. Forewing (Fig.
4 C
) 5.2–5.6 × as long as head width, and 2.5–2.6 × as long as wide, obovate with angular apex; vein C + Sc evenly curved; vein Rs straight; vein M 2.1–2.3 × as long as M
1 + 2
, bifurcating after imaginary line between apices of veins Rs and Cu
1 a
; vein M
1 + 2
reaching wing margin approximately at imaginary line through trifurcation of vein R + M + Cu and bifurcation of vein M; vein Cu 1.3–1.4 × as long as R, and 1.6–1.8 × as long as Cu
1 b
; cell r
1
approx. as wide as the narrowest section of r
2
. Surface spinules widely spaced (Fig.
4 D
), covering m
1
, cu
1
, and cu
2
, and colour pattern on r
2
and m
2
. Radular spinules forming triangular fields. Metafemur with six or seven apical bristles; metatibia 1.2–1.4 × as long as head width.
Terminalia
.
Male proctiger, in lateral view, subconical; apex constricted at anterior margin; anus large, occupying most part of apex, obliquely blunt. Paramere, in lateral view (Fig.
4 E, F
), 0.9 × as long as proctiger; apical process short; bearing posterior lobe; anterior margin sinuous, concave submedially; posterior margin strongly irregular, concave in basal 1 / 3, strongly convex in median 1 / 3, sinuous in apical 1 / 3; outer surface (Fig.
4 E
) covered in medium long setae along posterior apical 1 / 2; inner surface (Fig.
4 F
) covered in short setae medially, long setae along anterior and posterior margins, and thick bristles anteriorly on apical tooth. Apical dilatation of aedeagus (Fig.
4 G
) with ventral extension beak-like, short; apically slightly convex, with small subapical hump; sclerotised end tube of ductus ejaculatorius short, weakly sinuate. — Female proctiger (Fig.
4 H
), in lateral view, 0.9 × as long as head width; apical portion ~ 1 / 2 proctiger length; dorsal outline weakly incised at transverse groove, apical portion relatively slender, apex blunt; covered in long setae laterally, medium long setae dorsally, and short setae apically. Circumanal ring 0.4 × as long as proctiger. Subgenital plate (Fig.
4 H
), in lateral view, 0.8 × as long as proctiger; ventral outline straight in basal 1 / 2, weakly angular in the middle, straight in apical 1 / 2; sparsely covered in long setae, mostly ventrally and apically.

Etymology.
From Latin
albus
= white, and
linea
= line, referring to the contrasting longitudinal white stripe on the mesonotum. Noun in the ablative case.

Host plant.
Unknown. Many adults were collected on
Clusia
sp.
(
Clusiaceae
)
in the same area suggesting it is a host rather than just a casual plant. Further studies are necessary to to check this assumption.
Comments.Leuronota albilinea
Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca
,
sp. nov.
resembles
L. inusitata
(Tuthill, 1944)
(known from
Costa Rica
,
Mexico
, and
Panama
) in the brown body colour with white head and pleura, and white longitudinal stripe on mesonotum. It differs in the forewing pattern, the obovate forewing (vs ovate), the paramere with short (vs long) apical process and sinuous (vs concave) apical 1 / 2 of posterior margin, the aedeagal head with a weakly sinuous apical margin (vs evenly convex), and the female proctiger with a relatively slender apical portion (vs massive).
