DISTRIBUTION. Neotropical Region – Barbados, Brazil, Guyana, Trinidad.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Type material of A. neglectus detailed and discussed below ( BMNH, USNM); 7 puparia, syntypes of A. flumineus Hempel , Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State, on Moquilea tomentosa , i.1916 (Moura via Costa Lima, USNM #10075) ( BMNH ex-USNM, B.M.1998-131); puparia with the following country / host combinations – Barbados: Annona ; Brazil: Moquilea , Eriotheca ; Guyana: Ceiba, Vismia , Tetracera , Coussapoa ; Trinidad: Annona , Cocos (BMNH) .

COMMENTS. A. neglectus was described from a mixture of material from several hosts in Brazil, Guyana and Trinidad. Syntypic material of A. neglectus available to the author comprised one USNM slide with only a forewing [guava, Brazil, 1882, Koebele, no. 3160], one USNM slide containing 4 much-distorted postemergence pupal cases [ Annona reticulata , Trinidad, 28.ix.(18)96, 2/3166], and a series of BMNH slides from Guyana [ Annona squamosa , Demerara, Sept. 1892, no.126 BWIs 112, ex- Newstead collection]. The BMNH Demerara slides are mostly preparations of adults, but one slide contains post-emergence pupal cases of which one is in good condition and displays most characters well: this best specimen has been here designated the lectotype and is clearly indicated on its slide.

A. neglectus and A. magnificus are extremely similar and together form a small species-group. They may be distinguished by use of the key to species, couplets 4 & 5 (p. 16), figures 58 and 59, and comments on A. magnificus (p. 35).
