84. Tsinilla lineana (Fernald, 1901) ( Fig. 41 ).

This species, described from Florida, is widely distributed throughout the New World tropics, with records from Mexico to Brazil ( Razowski & Becker 2011). However, specimens from that broad geographic range may represent a complex rather than a single species. Two specimens were reared from Annona species ( Annonaceae ) in Honduras, the host plant previously reported from Florida as well ( Dyar 1901, Heinrich 1931, MacKay 1959, Kimball 1965).

Specimens examined: Honduras: Dept. Francisco Morazán, Zamorano, Escuela Agrícola Panamericana, 20 Sep 1981, larva on Annona , em: 6 Oct 1981 (1 adult), S. Passoa ; same locality, 26 Sep 1981 , larva on Annona , em: 16 Oct 1981 (1 adult), S. Passoa ( SCPC) .
