Lepidopa scutellata: Schmitt, 1924: 96 (not Thia scutellata (Fabricius, 1793)) .

REMARKS: Although it is very possible that Schmitt (1924) did have a Lepidopa larva, its identity cannot be determined. Given the Barbados locality, it was probably either L. richmondi or L. luciae , n. sp., both of which have been collected in nearby Trinidad. This specimen was not mentioned by previous researchers discussing Lepidopa larvae (e.g., Gore and Van Dover, 1981; Stuck and Truesdale, 1986).
