Description

Limnesia hesperia Lundblad, 1930 New record — 1/0/0, Saut Sonnelle, Inini River, 3.668227°N, 53.960857°W, 28 Sept. 2017. Distribution — Peru (Lundblad 1930), Paraguay (Lundblad 1941), Surinam (Besseling

1949), French Guiana (this study).

Remarks. According to Viets (1954b) Besseling’s material from Surinam does not belong to this species. When compared with the description in Lundblad (1941) there are indeed differences in the setation of P4. However, Besseling’s material and illustrations (Besseling 1949) matches the original description of Lundblad (1930), and, therefore, we disagree with Viets (1954b).
