Genus Ahomana Distant, 1905c View in CoL

Ahomana Distant 1905c: 23 .

Remarks. Even though Distant (1905c) described the genus as part of the Tibicinini Distant, 1905d , all the characteristics provided in the generic description agree with the diagnostic characters of Carinetini . Distant (1905c) characterized species of the genus as those possessing a head including the eyes considerably narrower than the width of the mesonotum, the postclypeus is slightly shorter than the vertex and lacks a central sulcus, the pronotum is about as long as the head with the lateral margins concavely sinuate, the width and length of the mesonotum are about equal, the abdomen that is about as long as the distance from the apex of the head to the posterior cruciform elevation, timbals completely exposed without timbal covers, the male opercula are small, broad, and transverse, and fore wings that are hyaline or semi-hyaline with a broad basal cell that is a little longer than broad and eight apical cells, and hindwings with six apical cells. The genus is very similar morphologically to Carineta .

Type species. Ahomana neotropicalis Distant 1905c: 24 (Callao, Peru and Paraguay (error, see Sanborn 2014a)).

Included species. Ahomana chilensis Distant, 1905c and A. neotropicalis Distant, 1905c .
