Haemateulia barrigana Razowski and González, 2003: 61 .

Diagnosis. As mentioned above, males of H. barrigana can be distinguished from those of H. haematitis by the absence of the distinctly serrate antenna, the longer valva with a naked sacculus, and a weakly dilated apex of the uncus. Males of H. barrigana are variable in forewing maculation — one form is virtually indistinguishable from H. haematitis , with a dark forewing bearing limited pattern elements. Another form ( Fig. 38 ) has a distinct forewing pattern that includes a pale red­brown basal patch, followed by a region of pale scaling, with the distal 0.5 of the wing dark red­brown. We take this opportunity to provide additional records of this species.
