Nesolinoceras laluzbrillante Santos

( Fig 4 )

Morphology. Head. The specimen photographed by Martin Reith ( Fig. 4A ) has a complete orbital band, different from the dorsally interrupted band of the female specimens reported by Santos (2016). Fore wing. Santos (2016) reports “H1WC” (actually, HW1C) = 1.0, but a direct measurement in figure 7 in that work returns HW1C = 1.10.

Material examined. Photos of two females in their natural habitat. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Hispaniola, 18°01’15.6”N, 71°08’34.8”W, 01.V.2015, 15:42 h, photographed by Martin Reith ( Fig. 4 ); Unknown location and date, photographed by Dennise Morales Pou (https://flickr.com/photos/59050296@N08/25207328276/in/photostream/). The first specimen is a new geographic record for the species .

Comments. The availability of multiple photographic records online suggest that N. laluzbrillante might be a common species in the Dominican Republic, in the same way that N. ornatipennis is abundant and widespread in Cuba.
