A review of the Jamaican webworm moths (Yponomeutoidea; Attevidae)

Resumo

In his 2009 review of New World Atteva Walker, Becker lists five species of Attevinae (= Attevidae), from Jamaica: Atteva pustulella (Fabricius), A. aurea (Fitch), A. siderea (Walsingham), A. sidereoides Becker, and A. fulviguttata (Zeller). There has been no recent collection of A. pustulella and A. siderea and their presence on the island needs reconfirming. Atteva fulvigutta has also not been found, but a similar species which is present is now recognized as A. glaucopidella Guenée, 1879, status revalidated, this name formerly being treated as synonymous with A. fulvigutta (Becker, 2009).
