Treatment

Subgenus Uranotaenia View in CoL View at ENA

pulcherrima View in CoL subspecies elnora ( Uranotaenia pulcherrima elnora Paterson & Shannon, 1927 ). Holotype Ψ: Tres Pozos, Embarcación, Salta, Argentina (USNM).

Paterson & Shannon (1927) published the name elnora as an addition to a binomen denoting subspecific rank, but labelled it as a new variety: “ Uranotaenia pulcherrima Elnora View in CoL nueva variedad”. In as much as the authors did not unambiguously indicate that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, it has subspecific rank from the date of its original publication.
