(“Tinlandia”, 16 km East of Santo Domingo de los Colorados, 700 m , Pichincha , Santo Domingo Province , Ecuador ) REMARKS.— Boulard (1986b) noted the similarity of C. imperfecta to C. peruviana with the description of the species. Carineta imperfecta can be distinguished by the head being slightly narrower than the mesonotum, the lateral pronotum not reducing anteriorly as much due to the larger head, the rostrum reaching the anterior of the posterior coxae, the mesonotum with only minor markings, the lack of linear infuscation in the fore wing apical cells, and the slightly wider opercula found in C. imperfecta . DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported only from Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas province , Ecuador (Sanborn 2013).
