Marilia flexuosa Ulmer, 1905b:70.—Fischer, 1965:33.—Flint, 1967d:173.—Wiggins, 1977:298–299.
This is a widespread species known from the southwestern United States (with a tentative record from southern Ontario, Canada) south to northern Argentina. The male is readily distinguished by its small size (forcwing length 6–9 mm), spur count of 2, 4, 2, the peculiar thickened and bulging stigma of the forewing and the very large, bulging eyes that are contiguous middorsally. It is here recorded from Colombia for the first lime. The larva was described by Wiggins (1977:298–299).
