Daedalma vertex Pyrcz

Daedalma vertex Pyrcz, 2004: 511–512, 596 (Figs. 55, 56), 608 (Fig. 148).

Remarks: This species currently comprises two subspecies found in central and northern Peru, on the eastern slopes of the Andes. It shares with D. dinias the character of the FWD orange patch never extending distally from the discal cell, but this is where the similarity between the two species ends. Daedalma vertex is considerably larger, the orange patch is more elongate, with somewhat irregular edges, and always indented at the base of vein Cu1. In most specimens D. vertex has a blackish postmedian spot enclosed by orange in cell Cu1-Cu2. The HWV pattern is also darker, more similar in this respect to D. fraudata and D. boliviana .
