Automolis quinquepunctata Schaus, 1933 : 568. Holotype <$, Colombia (USNM) [examined]. 

 [Synonymised by Watson, 1971 : 79.] [This is also a junior primary homonym of quinque- 

 punctata Gaede.] 



Automolis quinquepunctata Gaede; Watson, 1971 7, pis 2od (type of quinquepunctata), 112a, b 

 (genitalia) . 



Similar to tripunctata but differing in the following characters. Segment three of pro thoracic 

 tarsus with white proximal band (as segments 1 and 2). Basal marking of forewing broader 

 posterolaterally; most anterior of three medial spots larger than other two (confluent with 

 middle spot in one example in the USNM) ; pre-apical line replaced by two spots (confluent 

 in one USNM example). 



The female is unknown. 



Forewing length: <J 19 •0-20-0 mm. 



(J genitalia. Bilaterally asymmetric. Membranous apical process of valve minute. 

 Tegumen greatly modified: dorso-anterior margin produced posteriorly to form large, laterally 

 sclerotized hood. Uncus with two unequal basal processes. Vesica of aedeagus lobate; one 

 lobe bearing a corona of stout spines, another lobe with patch of longer spines. 



Closely allied to the Central American tripunctata but easily distinguished by the 

 colour-pattern of the forewing. Known only from Colombia.
