Andesobia boliviana (Gaede, 1923) comb. n. Figs 2818

Estigmene boliviana Gaede 1923: 20. Male holotype [NHMB] (Fig. 2b). Type locality: Bolivia, La Paz.

Turuptiana flavescens Rothschild 1933: 188, syn. n. Male lectotype, here designated [BMNH]. Type locality: [Peru / Bolivia], Lake Titicaca.

Type material.

The three examined male syntypes of Turuptiana flavescens exhibit variation in the extent of the forewing markings, two specimens closely approaching the appearance of the Andesobia flavata holotype (see also Remarks under Andesobia flavata ). The third syntype labeled “type” with a round, red-bordered label and a blue label reading "genitalia slide no. 3422" is here designated as lectotype; it is an almost exact match to the two specimens illustrated here (Fig. 2).

Remarks.

Subsequent to its description, Estigmene boliviana (Fig. 2b) disappeared from the literature. Although appearing in the print version of the Zoological Record for 1923, it is absent from the digital version of Zoological Record and the card index of the BMNH (Global Lepidoptera Names Index 2011). It was also omitted by Watson and Goodger (1986). The holotype label data is as follows: "La Paz / Bolivia / 95 Garlepp"; "als Puppe / Nov. 8. larva"; “1855a”; "Coll. / Staudinger"; "Estigmene / boliviana G. / E. Rschau [Entomologische Rundschau] B40 S20."; “Type”.
