Description

Carineta ventralis Jacobi 1907a

Carineta ventralis Jacobi 1907a: 19. (Marcapata, Peru)

REMARKS.—The last of the large species of Carineta heavily marked with piceous and a spot of infuscation on the apex of the hind wing anal cell 2. It can be distinguished quickly from C. centralis, C. producta and C. trivittata by the spot of infuscation on the mediocubital crossvein in the hind wing of these species. Carineta basalis can be distinguished by the piceous fascia on the dorsal pronotal midline, the hyaline fore wings and the large male opercula and both C. crumena and C. pilifera can be distinguished by the infuscation on the fore wing radial and radiomedial crossveins. Carineta postica is slightly larger (21 mm vs 18.5 mm body length), has two longitudinal fasciae on the postclypeus, the dorsal pronotal marks are not connected in a zig-zag pattern and the pronotal collar lateral angles lacks piceous marks. Carineta detoulgoueti, C. porioni and C. tracta can all be distinguished by the longitudinal infuscation in the fore wing apical cells not found in C. ventralis. Finally, C. ventralis can be distinguished by fore wing radial crossvein and radiomedial crossvein being almost perpendicular to the radius anterior 2, radius posterior and median veins but these veins are angled in C. maculosa.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Ecuador and Peru (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2020b). Goding (1925) reported the species from Macas, Morona Santiago province. Berger (2001) reported specimens from the Estacion Cientifica San Francisco, Zamora-Chinchipe Province.

MATERIAL EXAMINED.— “ Ecuador; Prov. Zamora-Chinchipe / Estacion Cientifica San Francisco, / cerca Sabarrilla, Camino al / Canal / XI.1999 1900 mn.N. / leg.: Dirk Berger ” one male (ZMHB); one male (AFSC).
