Carineta urostridulens Boulard, 1986b

Carineta urostridulens Boulard 1986b: 200 (Route from Baeza to Tona, 5.5. km South of Cosanga , 2170 m, Napo Province, Ecuador)

REMARKS.—The third of the Ecuadorian species with the bicolored pronotal collar. This species is most similar to C. genitalostridens but can distinguished by the prothorax lacking piceous markings and the mesothorax marked with piceous only on the parapsidal suture, smoothly curved posterior opercular margin, the almost upright, ground color primary fore femora spine and pygofer basal lobe appendage that broadens significantly as it terminates in C. genitalostridens rather than prothorax with multiple piceous markings and mesothorax with piceous completely outlining the submedian sigillae, the triangulate posterior opercular margin, the piceous, primary fore femoral spine is angled more than the remaining femoral spines, and the pygofer basal lobe appendage that terminates in two thin extensions found in C. urostridulens . The large opercula easily distinguish C. carayoni from this species.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported only from Napo province, Ecuador (Sanborn 2013).
