Type material.— Tortrix recurvana Zeller, 1866 : Lectotype, ♀: COLOMBIA: EX. 66,173 f.5., Zeller Coll., Walsingham Collection , 1910-427, 102210 [examined]. B[ritish] M[useum] Genitalia slide #7851, Razowski genitalia slide #5361 [examined] ( BMNH).

Discussion.—Zeller described Tortrix recurvana from two females, but it is unclear who designated the female that we figure ( Fig. 8 View Figs ) as the lectotype. Powell (1986) commented on this species in his description of Sisurcana , but refrained from transferring it to that genus. Tortrix recurvana is extremely similar in forewing pattern ( Fig. 8 View Figs ) and in genitalia to Sisurcana sanguinoventer Razowski and Wojtusiak, 2010 . However, the cestum in T. recurvana terminates before the corpus bursae ( Fig. 19 View Figs ), but not in S. sanguinoventer . We examined a third female specimen from the BMNH collected in Peru (KAA diss. #0135), which looks like a smaller version of T. recurvana , but the apophyses are noticeably longer. It may represent an undescribed species. Based on similarities between T. recurvana and S. sanguinoventer , we transfer T. recurvana to Sisurcana . Males of both of these species are unknown, but may be described and simply unassociated because of the extreme sexual dimorphism in Atteriini.
