92. Crocidosema species.

A male and a female collected at Uyuca Biological Station bear a resemblance to the illustration of the adult of Pollexinia costaricae ( Razowski & Becker 2018: fig. 38), with a large, brown, isolated spot near the apex of the forewing. However, the male genitalia are extremely similar to those of C. aporema , and the female genitalia are unlike those of any described species we have seen. It is possible the male and female are not conspecific, but they have nearly identical forewing patterns and were collected on the same night.

Specimens examined: Honduras: Dept. Francisco Morazán, Reserva Biol. Uyuca, 1700 m, 14.0352, -87.0753, 21 Sep 2019 (1♂, 1♀), E. van den Berghe ( EAP) GoogleMaps .
