Synonymy: hilumaria (Hulst, 1886) (Endropia) - MONA 1983: 6871; TL: Colorado. Taxonomic Notes: Neoselenia hilumaria (Hulst, 1886) was formerly in the genus Caripeta. The Neotropical genus Neoselenia was formally described by Pitkin (2002) with hilumaria as its sole representative from north of Mexico.
