Amplicincia lathyi
Distribution: Jamaica only.
Type locality: Jamaica.
Source of record: Field (1950) lists six specimens from unstated Jamaican
localities.
Method of identification: male and female genitalia illustrated by Field (1950). The three
transverse yellow bands on the upperside forewing distinguish this species
from all other Amplicincia.
Notes: Until
the
revision of Field (1950) this species was lumped together into the two species Cincia
conspersa and Cincia pallida - the two 'species' recorded by Gowdey (1926)
from Jamaica.
They can only easily be separated by genitalial dissection .
