Ennya chrysura ( Fairmaire, 1846) ( Fig. 1A , 10A )

Material examined: Lectotype female (DEI Hemimetabola # 100325) and paralectotype female (DEI Hemimetabola # 100326) Ennya fairmairei Breddin (SDEI) . Additional material: three females and one male (ZSFQ-i8143) from ECUADOR: Pichincha: La Hesperia ; two females and two males (ZSFQ-i17988:17991) from ECUADOR: Zamora Chinchipe: Cumunidad Río Blanco .
