Carineta matura Distant 1892b: 321 View in CoL . ( Venezuela)

Remarks. This is the smaller of the two Trinidadian species of Carineta . It can be distinguished from C. trinidadensis n. sp. by the smaller body size ( 14–16 mm), hyaline wings without distal bronzing, and presence of thoracic markings. The basal pygofer lobe appendage is curved distally at an approximate right angle with a tapering, pointed terminus.

Distribution. The species has been reported previously from Brazil and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963b; Sanborn 2013) with a recent range expansion to include Peru ( Sanborn 2020b).
