Atymna pilosa Funkhouser 1919: 273 [sp. n.].

Material examined.

Atymna pilosa female holotype, Peru (USNM; Figs 1-4).

Discussion.

The holotype, which has its pronotum partially damaged dorsoanteriorly, exhibits all features of Amastris Stål, including the forewing veins R and M initially fused then strongly divergent (a character diagnostic for the tribe). Within the tribe only Amastris and Erosne Stål have tectiform pronota, and Erosne has a sturdier pronotum with a yellow lateral margin.
