Carineta matura Distant, 1892b new record

Carineta matura Distant 1892b: 321 . (Venezuela)

Remarks. This is the smaller of the two Trinidadian species of Carineta . It can be distinguished from C. trinidadensis n. sp. by the smaller body size (14–16 mm), hyaline wings without distal bronzing, and presence of thoracic markings. The basal pygofer lobe appendage is curved distally at an approximate right angle with a tapering, pointed terminus.

Distribution. The species has been reported previously from Brazil and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963b; Sanborn 2013) with a recent range expansion to include Peru (Sanborn 2020b).
