Eugnosta emarcida ( Razowski & Becker, 1986 )

12. Eugnosta emarcida ( Razowski & Becker, 1986) View in CoL .

Eugnosta emarcida was described from Honduras by Razowski & Becker (1986) under the name Carolella emarcida . The type locality is La Venta, a municipality in the department of Francisco Morazán, and the specimen was captured in early September. The species was transferred to Eugnosta by Razowski (2012) who noted that “ E. emarcida differs from all known New World congeners by its broad socii and median part of the transtilla, which are somewhat similar to the Palearctic E. arrecta Razowski, 1970 . Broad socii also are present in E. dives (Butler, 1878) from the Old World.” The immature stages are unknown, but most species of Eugnosta are gall-inducers in Asteraceae (e.g., Comstock 1940, Goeden & Ricker 1981, Heystek et al. 2011, Vargas et al. 2015).
