Ipamerica auctuncus is the only representative of the genus; it is most similar to Ricula trechalea Razowski & Becker, 2012 from Pará, Brazil, from which it differs by having a distinct incision of the termen beneath the apex of the forewing and in the reduction of the terminal row of spots. Description. Head: Cream brown. Thorax: Cream brown, sprinkled whitish. Wing span 10.5 mm. Forewing (Fig. 14) cream sprinkled and suffused with pale brown; costal strigulae whitish; divisions brown; leaden grey lines from costa and subterminal area; dorsal patch indistinct accompanied by several similar lines chiefly towards wing base; distinct black spots in ocellus. Cilia pale brownish, basal line brown. Hindwing brownish. Cilia paler. Abdomen: Male genitalia (Fig. 2) as described for the genus. Female unknown. Distribution and biology.

Diagnosis: Large (Fig. 1j). Male FW length 17-19 mm (37-42 mm wingspan), female 16-18 mm (35-40 mm wingspan). Yellowish. Wings ornate with an intricate net of curved and lunulate lines; FW apex acute, a large fuscous patch beyond the median line to termen, from R4 to tornus; HW with a fuscous area at apex, distad of postmedial band, narrowing along termen to M3; an elongate, irregular fuscous band at middle, delimiting a yellowish orbicular. Male genitalia with uncus short, expanded distally forming lateral, broad triangles. Description: Sexes similar. FW 17-19 mm (37-42 mm wingspan) (Fig. 1j). Head and thorax pale yellow. Labial palpi pale yellow, fuscous distally. Patagia with a fuscous line across middle; tegula with row of fuscous scales at base. Legs pale yellow; fore and mid coxae and femora fuscous, tarsi ringed fuscous. FW pale yellow, basal and antemedial bands curved, fuscous; antemedial band followed with three orbicular spots; reniform spot extending to near costa; large, fuscous patch beyond postmedial band, from R4 to tornus. HW with orbicular and reniform spots well defined; postmedial line double, forming lunules on vein interspaces; broad fuscous patch on apex, narrowing along termen towards M3; terminal line fuscous; internal margin white; cilia fuscous from apex to M3, pale yellow to tornus. Abdomen pale yellow, banded fuscous on articulations. Male genitalia (Figs. 3k): Uncus short, broad, with lateral triangular expansions; valva two times longer than wide, margins nearly parallel, costa straight, distal third of ventral margin round to acute apex; fibula a thin, sharp, bent hook. Juxta an elongate shield. Vinculum expanded basally, round. Phallus (Fig. 3l) straight, thin; vesica with an irregular, small plate. Female genitalia (Fig. 5n): Ostium bursae long, narrow; ductus bursae, long, almost as long as abdomen, straight, broadened slightly basad; corpus bursae oblong, signum a small, round, spined plate. Distribution: Endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, at high elevations. Etymology: From the Latin confusion -onis =mixture, disorder; in reference to the confusion caused by the earlier workers misidentifications of P. scripturalis. Remarks: A large species, the same size and externally almost identical to S. limata. Easily separated by their distribution: S. limata from North America to Ecuador, at high elevations; S. confusalis restricted to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. Also by their male genitalia: inS. limata the uncus (Fig. 3i) is long, with the margins nearly parallel, and slightly concave at apex, whereas in S. confusalis (Fig.3k) the uncus is short, broadly expanded laterally into a triangular projection. This species has been misidentified as S.scripturalis by earlier workers, and under this name curated in all collections. S. scripturalis (Figs. 1 k-l) is a smaller [FW 12 mm; 27 mm wingspan], the same size and externally identical to S. suffusalis (Fig. 1m), if not the same species.As, unfortunately, no male ofS. scripturalis is available to allow comparing their genitalia, the two are retained as distinct. S. limata is treated as P.scripturalis, byAmsel (1956-1957: 129), a misidentification; the male genitalia (Pl. 81, fig. 8) martch those of other specimens from Mexico and Central America.Published as part of Becker, Vitor Osmar, 2023, The identity of Syllepte incomptalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Spilomelinae) with synonymies, new combinations and new species, pp. 1-12 in Revista Brasileira de Entomologia (e 20220093) (e 20220093) 67 (1) on pages 9-10, DOI: 10.1590/1806-9665-RBENT-2022-0093, http://zenodo.org/record/811145

Distribution: Known from the type-locality only. Etymology: From the Latin soror =sister, in reference to its similarity to S. belialis (Walker). Remarks: Very similar to S. belialis (Walker, 1864), both in size and shape, except for the ground color more yellowish. Externally almost identical to Patania surinamensis (Sepp, [1846]), from which it differes by the faded, almost absent markings on FW.Published as part of Becker, Vitor Osmar, 2023, The identity of Syllepte incomptalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Spilomelinae) with synonymies, new combinations and new species, pp. 1-12 in Revista Brasileira de Entomologia (e 20220093) (e 20220093) 67 (1) on page 10, DOI: 10.1590/1806-9665-RBENT-2022-0093, http://zenodo.org/record/811145
