Hagnagora guatica (Schaus, 1927) View in CoL Fig. 29
Type locality.
Guatemala, [Quetzaltenango Department], Volcán Sta. Maria.
Remarks.
Schaus described guatica as belonging to Scordylia Gn (a junior synonym of Heterusia ). The wing pattern of guatica strongly resembles that of other members in the mortipax clade, but the species lacks the typical striation on the underside of the hindwing. Further evidence from barcoding and the study of the genitalia will help to better understand the relationships of this species with other species of the mortipax clade.
Distribution.
Guatemala.
Diagnosis.
By far the smallest Hagnagora species. The species lacks the typical striation on the underside of the hindwing found in all other members of the mortipax clade.
