Family Tineidae View in CoL View at ENA

Nomenclature follows Davis (1984).

Acrolophus schistoides Meyrick, 1915

Identified by comparison with the lectotype of Acrolophus schistoides Meyrick and NHMUK series. In the NHMUK, A. schistoides is curated as a synonym of A. fervidus Busck, 1912 , but if this synonymy is correct, it does not seem to have been published yet.

Cocoa Wattie: ♂ (pale or faded) 8 Apr 1907 (G.B. Longstaff, TESL 1908, 53–57) [ OUNHM]. Note that although a data label refers to Longstaff (1908) that paper deals with butterflies only ; the information on Tobago moths is in Longstaff (1912).

Leucophasma carmodiella Busck, 1910 View in CoL

Leucophasma carmodiella Busck View in CoL : Busck (1910) TL

Identified by comparison with the cotype in NHMUK ( Tobago). The female type is in the USNM labelled ‘ Tobago, B.W.I.’ (S.E. Miller pers. comm. 2017). Busck’s (1910) original description records that the type series was reared from cocoa wood infested with Eutypa sp. fungus, forwarded from Tobago by W.E. Broadway and reared by F.W. Urich. No Trinidad records.

Tobago:? (abdomen and right wings missing; cotype) [ NHMUK] ; ♀ type in USNM not examined .
