REMARKS.
Jacobi (1907)
described and illustrated a specimen he determined to be
C. bilineosa
. However, based on the ovoid body, the longitudinal piceous mark on the posterior dorsal prothorax between rounded elevations of the disc, the lack of a transverse piceous mark in the ambient fissure, the presence of the a piceous mark between the anterior arms of the cruciform elevation, greater pilosity, shape of the ulnar and apical cells of the fore wing, and the hyaline wings suggests
Jacobi (1907)
actually investigated
C. pilifera
Walker, 1858c
. The illustration is very similar to the
holotype
of
C. pilifera
in the BMNH and matches specimens in my collection. This species is known from
Ecuador
and has a broad distribution, and is the only one of the group of
Carineta
species with similar body shape and markings to have the hyaline wings found in this species.
This is another of the large species heavily marked with piceous with a spot of infuscation on the end apex of anal cell
2 in
the hind wing. It can be quickly distinguished from
C. centralis
and
C. trivittata
by the bronzed fore wings and spot of infuscation in the distal radial cell of the hind wing.
Carineta cristalinea
can be distinguished by the longitudinal marks in the distal apical cells of the fore wings. The most similar species is
C. maculosa
but this species is more robust, the longitudinal marks on the postclypeus extend beyond the apex on the ventral surface, the scutes on either side of the pronotum midline anterior to the pronotal collar are more triangular than round and the pronotal collar is wider.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported from
Colombia
,
Ecuador
, and
Venezuela
(
Metcalf 1963c
;
Sanborn 2013
).
Jacobi (1907)
identified specimens from Balzapamba (sic) and Chimbo,
Ecuador
and Curoïco,
Bolivia
. I have also seen specimens from
Peru
(in preparation) that would connect the northern populations to the Bolivian representative as is seen in several other species with similar distribution patterns.
