}}Macrosoma conifera is moth-like butterfly described by Warren in 1897. It belongs to the family Hedylidae.[1] Originally it belonged to the genus Phellinodes. Malcolm J. Scoble combined it with Macrosoma in 1986.[2] DistributionThe species is found extensively in Guatemala, north of Paraguay: Villarrica, Gorgona Island off the coast of Colombia, Cusco in the Peruvian Andes to eastern Brazil, Amazonas region of Venezuela, the island of Trinidad, Suriname, French Guiana, and Belém at the mouth of the Amazon in northeastern Brazil.[2][4] DescriptionWingsM. conifera has wings of the greyish brown ground colour.Forewing: The forewing has weak medial, semi-translucent area. The triangular white patch on costa is usually prominent, sometimes reduced. The apex is of dark grey-brown colour. Hindwing: The termen is sometimes weakly sinuate, sometimes rounded; medially semi-translucent with darkish grey-brown colour.[4] The length of the forewing is {{convert|21|–|26|mm}}.[4] GenitaliaMaleFollowing are the characteristics of the male genitalia:[4]

AntennaThe antenna is not bipectinate in both sexes.[4] DiagnosisThe absence of chestnut brown on the wings of M. conifera distinguishes the species from M. hedylaria and M. cascaria.
