Type locality. Cuba. Synoptic diagnosis. Atracodes insularis comb. nov. may be distinguished from congeners by: dirty yellow in color, forewings creamy white with yellow veins, mesonotum with two dark lateral lines near apical margin (Melichar 1902, plate 9. Fig. 10); three nearly lateral dark lines in coastal cells, dark line extending from costal margin near posterior of wing to ⅓ the length broken continuing to CuP, ScP darkened, two dark curved lines present, 1 near the base of the wing, 1 ¼ the length of the wing, dark curved line present about half the length of wing between ScP and CuP; vertex nearly as long as broad, frons nearly three times as long as broad; hind tibia with 2 lateral teeth, apical spinulation 2-6-8 (Medler 1994). Remarks. This species is excluded from the key because the holotype is female (Melichar 1902, Medler 1994) without definitively associated males. Medler (1994) restored this taxon to species status (after being treated as a subspecies) because comparative features of the ‘tortrix complex of species’ (Medler 1994: 222) were not properly elucidated by Metcalf and Bruner (1948).

Abstract

Atracodes insularis (Melichar, 1902) comb. nov. = Flatoides insularis Melichar 1902: 209; combination restored by Medler 1994: 222. = Pseudoflatoides tortrix insularis (Melichar, 1902); comb. by Metcalf & Bruner, 1948: 41. = Pseudoflatoides insularis (Melichar, 1902); revised status by Bartlett et al. 2014: 167. Type locality. Cuba. Synoptic diagnosis. Atracodes insularis comb. nov. may be distinguished from congeners by: dirty yellow in color, forewings creamy white with yellow veins, mesonotum with two dark lateral lines near apical margin (Melichar 1902, plate 9. Fig. 10); three nearly lateral dark lines in coastal cells, dark line extending from costal margin near posterior of wing to ⅓ the length broken continuing to CuP, ScP darkened, two dark curved lines present, 1 near the base of the wing, 1 ¼ the length of the wing, dark curved line present about half the length of wing between ScP and CuP; vertex nearly as long as broad, frons nearly three times as long as broad; hind tibia with 2 lateral teeth, apical spinulation 2-6-8 (Medler 1994). Remarks. This species is excluded from the key because the holotype is female (Melichar 1902, Medler 1994) without definitively associated males. Medler (1994) restored this taxon to species status (after being treated as a subspecies) because comparative features of the ‘tortrix complex of species’ (Medler 1994: 222) were not properly elucidated by Metcalf and Bruner (1948).
