Carineta tigrina Boulard 1986a: 427 View in CoL . (Tiger Station, French Guiana)
REMARKS. I found a similar problem with the generic assignment of Carineta tigrina while trying to identify specimens for this study. Boulard (1986a) reports the head width ( 5.5 mm) being greater than the mesonotum width ( 5.1 mm) for this species as well, a characteristic of Herrera not Carineta . In addition, the lateral pronotum is not strongly angled mediad in this species as it is in species of Carineta . Therefore, based on the head being wider than the mesonotum and the shape of the prothorax, the species is reassigned to Herrera to become Herrera tigrina ( Boulard, 1986a) n. comb.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been recorded from French Guiana ( Sanborn 2013; 2011a).
