Figs. 3, 4 View FIGURES 1 – 8 , 11 View FIGURES 9 – 13

Diagnosis. Rubropsichia kartaboana is similar to and very closely related to R. fuesliniana and R. santaremana , but it can be distinguished from those two by its long, fused socii; its simple, slightly convex sacculus; and its short, rather plesiomorphic aedeagus.

Description. Head: Dark brown, vertex beige; labial palpus dark brown, length ca. 1.3 times diameter of compound eye. Thorax: Olive brown, with median part and collar orange. Forewing length 9.5 mm (n = 2); ground colour orange, much paler in apical and tornal areas; reticulation dark grey; refractive pattern distinct; markings in posterior third of wing and blotch before mid-costa dark brown. Fringe brown, paler basally. Hindwing orange with brown lines: small apical fascia, long subapical fascia, and incomplete fascia extending from end of CuP. Fringe brownish, more cream above dark brown basal line. Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Figs. 3, 4 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ) with socii long, fused medially; uncus greatly reduced; vinculum broad; valva slender, long, weakly angulate beyond ventral concavity, with strong group of bristles near angle; sacculus slender, weakly convex; aedeagus short, broad; coecum penis short. Female unknown.

Holotype male. British Guiana: Bartica District: Kartabo, 23 August 1922; GS USNM 134,117. Paratype (one male): Same data as holotype, except 26 September 1922.

Etymology. The name refers to the type locality of Kartabo.
