4 Catasticta notha ( Doubleday, 1847) (TL: Venezuela)

(= notha ( Lucas, 1852) , TL: Venezuela) (fig. 5: a-c; fig. 15)

Catasticta notha was described by Doubleday from Venezuela without additional data. The only specimens claimed to be from Venezuela are the types of notha Doubleday and notha Lucas (the latter a junior primary homonym and junior synonym). However, it occurs in Santander and Cundinamarca (Cordillera Oriental, Colombia) and may also occur in the El Tamá area. For this reason, we provisionally retain it as a member of the Venezuelan fauna.
