strandi (Röber, 1927)

“ Castnia Strandi ” Röber, 1927, Internationale Entomologische Zeitschrift 20 (47): 429.

Type material: Röber (1927a) described a single male specimen which is the holotype by monotypy. This specimen has not been found, it might be in the Senckenberg Natural History Collections, Museum of Zoology, Dresden, Germany but requests for information from that institution have gone unanswered .

Type locality: Macas, Ecuador . Macas is the capital of Morona-Santiago province in southeast Ecuador .

Taxonomic status: The name is a junior primary homonym of Castnia (Gazera) strandi Niepelt, 1914 and was replaced by Castnia strandiata Röber, 1927 . It was originally described as a species but not mentioned by Miller (1995); Lamas (1995) then synonymised it with Castnia papilionaris velutina Houlbert, 1917 (now in Amauta). However, as velutina is here considered to be a junior subjective synonym of nominotypical Castnia papilionaris Walker, [1865] (now in Amauta), strandiata (= strandi Röber nec Niepelt) follows it.

Male genitalia: Not available.

Distribution: Not relevant.
