99. Cydia aff. anaranjada (Miller, 1959) . Carlin & Nuñez (1985) recorded “ Cydia poss anaranjada ” from Honduras in the mature cones of Pinus oocarpa Schiede ex Schltdl. and Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis (Sénéclauze) W.H.G. Barrett & Gol. They examined 600 cones of each pine species and found infestation rates of 15% for P. caribaea and 6% for P. oocarpa .; no larvae were found in P. maximinoi H. E. Moore. They describe the adult as follows: “The forewing is orange with gold bands. The hindwing is colored like the forewing, but without markings. The hindlegs are white with a large spur.” The adult was determined by H. H. Neunzig but the location of vouchers, if any, are unknown.
100. Cydia aff. ingens (Heinrich, 1926) . Two males of an undetermined species of Cydia were collected in Honduras. Although they are somewhat reminiscent of C. ingens , although smaller, their genitalia are not similar to those of C. ingens .
Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. Francisco Morazán, El Zamorano, Escuela Agrícola Panamericana , 15 Jun 1986 (1♂), 16 Jun 1986 (1♂), S. Passoa ( SCPC) .
101. Cydia latiferreana (Walsingham, 1879) . This widespread species ranges from southern Canada to Mexico, and from coast to coast. Razowski & Becker (2014b) listed records for C. latiferreana from Tegucigalpa in September. Quercus species ( Fagaceae ), the primary larval hosts of C. latiferreana , are common in the vicinity of Tegucigalpa. Larvae of C. latiferreana feed inside acorns and fruits of various trees (see Gilligan & Epstein 2012 for a list of species).
Specimen examined. Honduras: Dept. Lempira, Finca La Fortaleza , 1300 m, 15.4247, 88.0583, 16 Jun 2019 (1♂), E. van den Berghe ( EAP) GoogleMaps .
102. Cydia aff. ninana (Dyar, 1903) . We examined two specimens of a species of Cydia similar to C. ninana , which was described from Arizona, U.S.A. The specimens likely represent an undescribed species that is a member of a complex that includes Cydia ninana (Dyar, 1903) , C. pyraspis (Meyrick, 1928) , C. rhodaspis (Meyrick, 1928) , C. sagittula Razowski, 2011 , and perhaps one or two additional undescribed species.
Specimens examined. Honduras: Dept. Francisco Morazán, El Zamorano, Escuela Agrícola Panamericana , 12 Jun 1986 (2♂), S. Passoa ( SCPC) .
103. Cydia species 1 . A single male of an undetermined and probably undescribed species of Cydia was collected at Zamorano in 1978. No additional specimens have been discovered. The specimen is rather small with a non-descript grayish forewing, lacking conspicuous pattern elements.
Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. Francisco Morazán, Zamorano , 10 Dec 1978 (1♂), at light, S. Passoa, USNMENT02007244 ( USNM) .
104. Cyanocydia salvadorana (Heppner, 2013) . Heppner (2013b) described Cydia salvadorana from a series that included two paratype males collected by R. Lehman at El Zamorano, Honduras in late July. The wing pattern of this genus is distinctive, but the species closely resemble each other and can only be separated by details of the genitalia. Razowski (2019) transferred salvadorana to Cyanocydia , and Brown (2019) described the wing pattern as having “7–8 iridescent cyan-blue lines extending various lengths from the costa toward the hind margin on a ground color of black or dark gray”. The immature stages are unknown.

105. Dichrorampha species. A male in poor condition of an undetermined species of what may be Dichrorampha was collected by EVDB at P.N. Celaque. The terminal region of the forewing has a row of small black spots, typical of Dichrorampha , Talponia , and Ricula , but the genitalia (USNM slide 154,879) lack the long slender socii typical of the latter two genera. The distal third of the valva is strongly recurved downward and inward, somewhat reminiscent of the male genitalia of D. incanana (Clemens) and D. leopardana (Busck) , but it is much narrower than in those two species.
Specimen examined. Honduras: Dept. Lempira, Cerro Celaque, Centro de visit., 1400 m, 14.5603, -88.6421, 4–8 Jun 2021 (1♂), E. van den Berghe ( EAP) GoogleMaps .
106. Ecdytolopha fabivora (Meyrick, 1928) ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 41–48 ). A single specimen of this widespread Neotropical species was recorded from Honduras. Elsewhere, it is occasionally an important pest of legumes. Beans are particularly affected by this pest.
Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. of Comayagua, Taulabe, ex larva on Pachyrhizus ferrugineus (Piper) Sørensen (= Pachyrhizus vernalis var. integrifolius (Donn. Sm.) Clausen ) ( Fabaceae )(det. A. Molina), 29 Feb 1980, em: 20 Mar 1980 (1♂), S. Passoa (USNM).
107. Ethelgoda aff. stynophra Razowski & Becker, 2012 .A single male with genitalia similar to those of E. stynophra was collected by EVDB at the Uyuca Biological Station. The genitalia of our specimen can be distinguished from those of E. stynophra by the rounded rather than triangular basal lobe of the sacculus ( Razowski & Becker 2012: fig. 3).
Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. Francisco Morazán, Reserva Biol. Uyuca, 1700 m, 14.0352, -87.0753, 6 Mar 2019 (1♂), E. van den Berghe ( EAP) GoogleMaps .
108. Gymnandrosoma aurantianum Lima, 1927 complex ( Fig. 48 View FIGURES 41–48 ). This widespread species of the New World tropics was reported from Honduras by Adamski & Brown (2001) based on a specimen in the collection of Vitor Becker. The larvae of G. aurantianum attack a wide range of fruit in many families, notably Citrus ( Rutaceae ), Theobroma ( Sterculiaceae ), Annona ( Annonaceae ), Psidium ( Myrtaceae ), and Byrsonima ( Malpighiaceae ) ( Adamski & Brown 2001). This may be a complex of species based on DNA barcodes (JWB, unpublished).
Specimens examined: Honduras: Tegucigalpa , 7 Sep 1973 (1♂), V . Becker ( VBC); EAP, 30 km E. Tegucigalpa, 8 Mar 1979, S. Passoa, USNMENT02007246 ( USNM). Dept. Comayagua, Comayagua, 10 Oct 1979 (1♂), S. Passoa ( USNM) .
109. Satronia species. An undetermined species of Satronia was recorded by Carlin & Nuñez (1985) in their study on species of insects attacking three species of pines in Honduras. Based on the plant species included their survey, potential hosts of the Satronia are Pinus oocarpa , Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis and/or P. maximinoi ( Pinaceae ). The identification was made by H. H. Neunzig, but the location of vouchers, if any, are unknown. Nothing is known about the biology of other Neotropical Satronia except for the altitude at which adults were collected ( Razowski & Becker 2016). Some species may be misplaced in this genus, but Satronia tantilla Heinrich has been reared from the male flowers of Pinus elliottii Engelm. and P. palustris Mill. in North America ( Brown 2022). These Honduran records seem to confirm an association of Satronia with Pinus .
