Wahydra sp.

Figs (25, 26,40,53).

Description. Female: Forewing length 13. Nudum 13. DFW orange spots in R4-CuA2 and posterior half of CuA2– 2A to anal margin; sparse dark orange scales present on costal, central and anal areas close to base. DHW orange spot thin, from Rs to CuA2; dark orange elongated bristles, mainly concentrated in discal cell and anal areas. VFW ground color dark brown; costal area and apical spots dark orange; faint orange spots in R5-M1, and developed in M3 to CuA2. VHW ground color dark orange, with a central dark, marked reddish band from base to margin; anal fold dark brown. Genitalia: 8th tergite with spiracular opening present, ellipsoid. Lamella antevaginalis projected below ostium bursae; triangular posterior projections developed only in the right side of ostium, which is distinctly asymmetrically located in the right side of sterigma. Lobes of posterior margin of lamella postvaginalis large, medially shallow divided.

Studied material: Peru, Amazonas, Rodríguez de Mendoza, 17-VI-2003, 1800m, OM 63.640 (OM).

Remarks. This female is here illustrated without identification due to lack of evidence to which male it should be coupled, or if it belongs to a un-described species. Although only other five female genitalia of Wahydra species are so far illustrated, it is worth to describe the present specimen for the purpose of future studies in the taxonomy of the genus.
