70. Tinacrucis aff. aqulia (Busck, 1914) ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 25–32 ).

Tinacrucis aqulia is a sexually dimorphic species described from Mexico over 100 years ago. DNA barcodes of our specimens (see BOLD—https://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/ TaxBrowser_TaxonPage/SpeciesSummary?taxid=405459) are nearly a perfect match (99.24% similar) with those of “ Tinacrucis BioLep 3726” in BOLD from Costa Rica, which is closest to T. aquila .
