( Ancient route from Gun to El Triumfo , 500 m , Cañar province , Ecuador ) REMARKS.—This species is very similar in general appearance to C. tiarata n. sp. but can be distinguished by the rostrum that reaching to the posterior trochanters, the triangular opercula, a dorsal beak extending only as long as the anal styles, and the basal lobe appendage that is curved at an approximate right angle with a transverse terminus forming two points on the distal corners rather than the sword-like basal lobe appendage with the ventral margin curved to the tip of that new species. Carineta ecuatoriana also has a similar general appearance (illustrated in Goding (1925)) but can be distinguished quickly by the infuscation that is restricted to the fore wing and hind wing marginal area distal to apical cells 1–3, the longitudinal infuscation in the apical cells that are restricted to the distal apical cells, and are found on the entire marginal area of both the fore and hind wings in C. ecuatoriana . DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported only from Cañar province , Ecuador (Sanborn 2013).
