Type material.
Telemiades trenda
Evans, 1953
was described based on the male
holotype
from interior of
Suriname
. The male
holotype
is deposited at the
NHMUK
and illustrated on Butterflies of America (
Warren
et al
. 2018
) with the following labels: / Type H T [verso from the samel label:]
trenda
Evans
/ Interior
Surinam
Sept. 1892
C. W. Ellacombe./ [label with the genitalia attached]/ Rothschild Bequest B.M. 1939–1./ BMNH(E) 1236498/.
Diagnosis.
FW length: males
16–17 mm
(n=5) and females
16–19 mm
(n=6).
Telemiades trenda
resembles the remaining species of the “
trenda
group”,
T. squanda
and
T. meris
,
but is distinguished by the asymmetrical valvae; left valva with distal projection developed; sacculus triangular, developed, occupying almost half of internal surface of valva.
Distribution.
Telemiades trenda
occurs in areas of Amazon Forest of low altitudes, with records in
Peru
,
Suriname
, and
Brazil
(
Acre
,
Rondônia
,
Mato Grosso
, and
Maranhão
states).
Taxonomic discussion.
Telemiades trenda
was described by
Evans (1953)
. Despite the fact that it is externally similar to other species of the genus, the male genitalia reliably separate it from congeners.
