Hagnagora acothysta (Schaus, 1901) View in CoL stat. rev. Fig. 28
Type locality.
[Brazil], Parana, Castro.
Remarks.
Together with jamaicensis , Schaus (1901) originally placed this species in the genus Heterusia . It was then ranked down as a subspecies of mortipax by Parsons et al. (1999). The major characteristic of acothysta is the reduction of the white transversal band (found both in mortipax and jamaicensis ) to a smaller blotch that reaches about half the area found in mortipax . As in jamaicensis , further evidence from barcoding is desirable for the consolidation of the species status.
Distribution.
Brazil.
Diagnosis.
Unlike mortipax and jamaicensis , this species shows no white transversal band on the forewing, but rather a reduced blotch that reaches only about 50% of the size observed in mortipax .
