Cicinnus joanna Schaus, 1905

(Figs. 15, 16)

Type locality. French Guiana [USNM, syntype examined]

The name Cicinnus joanna is currently applied to all populations of several similar species ranging from Guatemala and Belize south to throughout South America, but are all currently considered synonyms except for C. joanna (Becker 1996). All synonyms of C. joanna are likely to be have full species status considering external and genitalia differences (R.A. St Laurent unpublished) and thus were inappropriately synonymized by Schaus (1928) and Becker (1996). Furthermore, genitalia examinations displays that C. joanna sensu lato belongs to Psychocampa Grote & Robinson, 1866. Future revisions of Cicinnus and Psychocampa will ultimately be necessary to determine the true status of the several names treated as C. joanna as well as a definitive generic placement, thus we have chosen not to make these taxonomic changes at this time.

The species present in Trinidad is most likely true C. joanna due to the relative proximity of the type locality and affinity of Trinidad species with those found in French Guiana. The population of Trinidad also matches the type of C. joanna in external appearance.

The two specimens known from Trinidad were taken at light on a forested hill-top (Brigand Hill, 217 m, in the Central Range) and ridge top (Morne Bleu Textel Installation, 700 m, in the Northern Range).
