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. Examined material.
