Carineta detoulgoueti Champanhet, 2001

Carineta detoulgouëti Champanhet 2001: 110 . (Route from Gun to El Triumfo, 500 m, Cañar Province, Ecuador)

REMARKS.—The correct spelling of the species epithet is detoulgoueti based on Article 32.5.2 (ICZN 1999). Another of the species with infuscation in distal hind wing anal cell 2. It can be distinguished quickly from C. centralis , C. fimbriata , C. producta and C. trivittata by the spot of infuscation on the mediocubital crossvein in the hind wing of these species. The lack of linear infuscation in the fore wing apical cells distinguishes C. maculosa and C. ventralis from this species. Carineta tracta can be distinguished by the monochromatic mesothorax with only the submedian sigillae outlined in piceous. Carineta postica can be distinguished by the of piceous spots on the pronotal ambient fissure at the posterior lateral fissure, the piceous mark between the posterolateral lateral sigillae and posterolateral mesothorax, and the lack of linear infuscation on the hind wing margin in these species. Carineta detoulgoueti is almost identical to C. porioni but can be distinguished by the narrowing medial operculum with long pile radiating from the opercular margin, the three fore femoral spines, and the pygofer basal lobe appendages that have a distinct pointed dorsal extension prior to the shorter pointed terminus.

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