Hagnagora subrosea (Warren, 1909) Fig. 36

Type locality.

Peru (south east), Carabaya, Oconeque, 7000 ft.

Remarks.

Warren originally assigned subrosea to Cophocerotis Warren, but the genus-defining type species, Cophocerotis jaspeata (Dognin), does not show the two prominent white transversal bands of the forewing present in subrosea . Parsons et al. (1999) transferred the species to Hagnagora . Barcoding and genitalia dissections of fresh specimens from this species are required, but judging from the two transversal bands, subrosea might indeed be associated with the croceitincta clade.

Distribution.

Peru.

Diagnosis.

Hagnagora subrosea has a unique combination of a pale brown wing colour with two white transversal bands on the forewings not found in any other species of Hagnagora .
