scientific name

Eriopyga metanensis
status

 

metanensis View in CoL ( Eriopyga ), 1947: 88. [ Noctuinae . Hadenini ] ( Fig. 179 View FIGURES 178–193 )

Type status (description). Holotype in Köhler’s collection.

Type locality and collectors. [ Argentina]— Salta: Metán ( Köhler ) .

Type specimens. IFML: Allotype ♀. Rep. Argentina, Salta, Metán , Breyer.

Remarks. Although Köhler did not specify the sex of the holotype, he described only the female. While the material found has an allotype label, we believe it is the holotype. As mentioned for Poliodestra albolimbata and other species, when Köhler based the description on a single female specimen he usually labeled it as allotype. In this case he designated a female holotype in the description, but we assume that he never changed the allotype label of the only specimen he had.
