Farragona cremnobates Austin & Dombroskie 2020, new combination
Authors/Creators
Description
Tortrix cremnobates Walsingham, 1914: 293.
Clepsis cremnobates: Razowski 1979: 132 (new combination).
Type material.— Tortrix cremnobates Walsingham, 1914: Holotype, ♀: GUA- TEMALA: Totonicapam: 8,500-10,500 ft., viii 1880, G. C. Champion [not examined] (BMNH).
Discussion.— Razowski (1979) transferred Tortrix cremnobates to Clepsis without explanation. He noted that the holotype was missing its abdomen, so the new combination was presumably based on forewing pattern alone. However, the forewing length of 12 mm raises suspicions about its placement. We are unaware of any Neotropical Clepsis that large (i.e., the largest Neotropical species is Clepsis ecclisis (Walsingham, 1914), with a forewing length of 9 mm). In the absence of genitalia to examine, we transfer this species to Farragona based on its similarity in forewing pattern and shape (see Walsingham, 1914, Table IX), size, and identical type locality to those of Farragona cratista.
