Diagnosis. Very little is known about this species which was described based on a single male from French Guiana, but Amazonian populations that we are familiar with, which likely belong to a separate undescribed species, are recognizable by the very faint to nonexistent medial costal patch and well-defined double postmedial lines on the forewings. The holotype of A. orousseti has lighter forewing coloration than in any other examined Anurocampa , and has a well-defined, strongly contrasting dark apical patch of scales that are absent from all other examined material (including examined Amazonian specimens). We have been unable to locate any specimen closely matching the type, but in our examined specimen from French Guiana, the uncus is much narrower than in any other examined Anurocampa or from the genitalia of the type of A. orousseti figured in Thiaucourt (1985), though the uncus in A. orousseti is still narrower than in the other species treated here. The VIII sternite is also distinct among both Amazonian populations, having a single narrow slit-like pit in the type of A. orousseti and having more widely spaced, more heavily sclerotized, and more posteriorly situated pits in the specimen we examined from French Guiana. Pending more clarity on the identity of A. orousseti , we do not describe any Amazonian taxa at this time.
