Definition and diagnosis. In addition to the three species in the Bolla zorilla (Plötz, 1886) (type locality in Panama) complex, genomic trees reveal a fourth (and new) species from Venezuela ( Fig. 3): it differs from its sister Bolla hazelae (Hayward, 1940) (type locality Ecuador: Mapoto) by 4.0% (26 bp). This new species keys to B. zorilla (E.31.21) in Evans (1953) and differs from its relatives by the following combination of characters: hindwing with a more scalloped outer margin, convex in the middle and noticeably concave towards tornus, a hyaline subapical spot in cell R 5 -M 1 is smaller than the spot in cell R 3 -R 4 (spots subequal in other species) ( Fig. 73–74), ampulla with a thin style directed dorsad, harpe broader in lateral view, less extended distad, with a more prominent expansion directed dorsad, dorsal margin between the dorsal-most points of harpe and costa deeper concave (with a style in the middle) ( Fig. 291–292). Due to the cryptic nature of this species, most reliable identification is achieved by DNA and a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic in the nuclear genome: aly1281.15.8:C123T, aly813.2.4:G44C, aly727.20.3:C69T, aly 1329.6.5:G105A, aly 1329.6.5:G108T, and COI barcode: A202T, C235T, T334G, T535C, A622G.
