108. Gymnandrosoma aurantianum Lima, 1927 complex ( Fig. 48 ).

This widespread species of the New World tropics was reported from Honduras by Adamski & Brown (2001) based on a specimen in the collection of Vitor Becker. The larvae of G. aurantianum attack a wide range of fruit in many families, notably Citrus ( Rutaceae ), Theobroma ( Sterculiaceae ), Annona ( Annonaceae ), Psidium ( Myrtaceae ), and Byrsonima ( Malpighiaceae ) ( Adamski & Brown 2001). This may be a complex of species based on DNA barcodes (JWB, unpublished).

Specimens examined: Honduras: Tegucigalpa , 7 Sep 1973 (1♂), V. Becker ( VBC); EAP, 30 km E. Tegucigalpa, 8 Mar 1979, S. Passoa, USNMENT02007246 ( USNM). Dept. Comayagua, Comayagua, 10 Oct 1979 (1♂), S. Passoa ( USNM) .
