Carineta rufescens ( Fabricius, 1803) new record

[ Tettigonia] rufescens Fabricius 1803: 41 . (Pozuzo, Peru)

Carineta oberthüri Distant, 1881b: 647 . (Ega, Amazons)

REMARKS.—This is a fairly large, reddish species of Carineta . It can be distinguished easily from all other Ecuador- ian species of the genus by its color, the pair of piceous spots in the ambient pronotal fissure anterior to the pronotal collar on either side of the midline, and the fact that the head and pronotum form an obvious triangle.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported previously from Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, and Peru ( Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2020b; Dias et al. 2017; Maccagnan et al. 2018) with recent records reported for Bolivia ( Sanborn 2019b).
