speciosa Moulton, 1933

This species is included in the key here based on the statement by Nakahara (1997: 359) that speciosa shares with antennata Hood from Peru the absence of ocellar setae pair I, whereas this pair of setae is present in all other members of the genus. Unfortunately, speciosa is known only from one damaged female, collected in Brazil at Rio de Janeiro, and the possibility that this is merely an aberrant specimen cannot at present be discounted.
