Carineta rustica Goding, 1925

Carineta rustica Goding 1925: 33 . (Macas, Ecuador)

REMARKS.—This is another small to intermediate species (body length 14 mm) with hyaline wings and prothoracic and mesothoracic markings. The pubescence in noted by Goding (1925) is also present in C. congrua . Carineta rustica can be distinguished from C. congrua by the slightly smaller body size, piceous surrounding the ocelli, the central pronotal fascia and pronotal markings, multiple mesonotal markings, the linear infuscation in the apical cells rather than the bronzed distal wings, and the row of lateral abdominal tergite spots in C. rustica .

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported only from Ecuador ( Metcalf 1963c). Goding (1925) reported the species from Macas, Morona Santiago province.
