ABSTRACT

The New World taxa of the pantropical Chlidanotinae tribe Chlidanotini (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) are reviewed. Twenty seven species and two subspecies are described as new: Auratonota auriginea, A. badiaurea, A. clasmata, A. exoptata and A. tessellata (Brazil); A. paidosocia and A. spinivalva cubana (Cuba); A. cataponera, A. flora, A. foederata, A. monochroma, A. moronana, A. nugax, A. petalocrossa maldonada, A. splendida, A. stigmosa and A. virgata (Ecuador); A. effera, A. oxytenia, A. serotina and A. spinivalva spinivalva (Mexico); A. magnifica (Venezuela); Heppnerographa brasiliana and H. lapilla (Brazil); H. ardea, H. carchiana and H. ecualorica (Ecuador). Three new combinations are also established: Auratonota hyacinthina (Meyrick, 1911), A. multifurcata (Meyrick, 1932), and Heppnerographa tricesimana (Zeller, 1877).

Key words: Tortricidae, Chlidanotini, Neotropical, systematics, distribution.
