Paromphacodes rubristellata Warren, 1897 View in CoL

Paromphacodes rubristellata Warren, 1897: 429 View in CoL (Type locality: [ Colombia] Bogota); Prout (1912): 118; Prout (1932): 43; Pitkin (1996): 378.

Diagnosis. P. rubristellata differs from all described congeneric species in the strongly curved postmedial row of rosy vein-spots on forewings. Other species have the postmedial row of streaks (or a line) straight. Pitkin (1996), referring to the male genitalia of this species, stressed the presence of a short, tapered to tip uncus.

Description. P. rubristellata was described as having green forewings with ochreous-brownish costal edge, the rosy postmedial row of spots strongly curved and the marginal line of wings also rosy, interrupted by white veindots. The hind wings are white with green marginal lines and white fringe.

Three Colombian specimens listed as P. rubristellata on the BOLD Taxonomy homepage (http:// www.boldsystems.org) have straight rows of postmedial spots on forewings and their determination has to be revised. A genital dissection was not available for the authors.
