36. Argyrotaenia confinis Razowski & Becker, 2000 .

This is a relatively common high elevation species originally described from Chiapas, Mexico, but occurs as far north as Tamaulipas (VBC). These records show it is widespread and common in Honduras as well.Additional specimens (n = 37) are consistent with the wing pattern of the specimens below but were either not dissected or the genitalia differed enough to question their identity and were excluded. This species either exhibits considerable variation in genitalia, or more than one species is involved.
