Hypatopa Walsingham, 1907 View in CoL
Nearly 100 species of Hypatopa have been described from North America and the Neotropics. Contrastingly, only a few species are known from the Palearctic and Oriental regions. Hypatopa are distinguished from other blastobasinae by having, a protuberant proximal flange of the dorsal part of the valva, a ventrolateral margin of the proximal flange that is setose and/or intermixed with spines, and an entire or mesially emarginate ventroposterior margin of the gnathos. Only a single host record has been authoritatively documented for Hypatopa , and it is based on a USDA-APHIS-PPQ interception, from which one adult specimen was reared from Solidago sp. ( Asteraceae ) from The Dominican Republic.
