Material examined.
Santa Fe: • 1 ♀; Parque Ilarco ; 4.7008, – 74.0657; 2569 m; 23. iii. 2017; J. Duran leg.; Croton coriaceus ( Euphorbiaceae ); MPUJ_ENT GoogleMaps .
Distribution.
Colombia: Bogotá, Magdalena ( Rendón-Mera et al. 2017).
Host plant.
Unknown. The single female at hand was collected on Croton , an unlikely host as all Platycorypha species, for which hosts are known, develop on Fabaceae ( Burckhardt and Queiroz 2020) .
Comments.
The single female at hand resembles specimens reported as Platycorypha erythrinae (Lizer) from Panama ( Brown and Hodkinson 1988) and Peru ( Burckhardt 1987). These specimens are probably not conspecific with P. erythrinae from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, but represent an undescribed species. The specimens from Colombia, Panama and Peru differ from the latter in the presence of distinct brown dots on the radular areas of the forewing and the small hook on the apex of the female proctiger. More material is required for solving this issue.
