Callipia brenemanae Sperry, 1951

Figs 55–58, 64

Assigned BIN: BOLD:AAF5629.

Diagnosis

The base of forewing veins CuA2, CuA1 and often M3 are covered with dark brown scales in brenemanae, particularly at the wing base. Only specimens of C. occulta stat. rev. show a similar pattern, but it is weaker and only true for vein CuA2. COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar species ( C.constantinaria) is 3.9%.
