Callipia parrhasiata Guenée, 1858

Figs 67–69 , 75 , 124

Assigned BIN: BOLD:AAI3927.

Diagnosis

Probably has the most intense pink colouration of all members of the group, and the most extended dark brown area. Callipia intermedia stat. rev. on forewing upperside with a marginal ochreous blotch, this is only present on the underside in parrhasiata . The male vesica has a series of relatively long cornuti. The cream white margin of the underside of the hindwing is very narrow and considerably less pronounced than in related species. COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar species ( C.milleri sp. nov. and C.wojtusiaki septentrionalis subsp. nov .) is 4.1%, respectively.

Type material

Holotype ( Fig. 67 ) COUNTRY UNKNOWN: ♀, ‘ Bengale ?’ [incorrect locality] ( NHM). The last segments of the abdomen are lost. Eggs are visible in the dorsally open abdomen .
