Figs 14–19 View Figs 9–16 View Figs 17–19
Callipia admirabilis Warren, 1904: 538 (confirmed junior synonym of C. paradisea , see Parsons et al. 1999) ( Figs 15 View Figs 9–16 , 19 View Figs 17–19 ).
No assigned BIN.
Diagnosis
Callipia paradisea is unmistakeable due to its unique mixed colour pattern of white, dark brown and extended rosy elements. The taxon C. admirabilis does not show any significant differences from the type specimen of C. paradisea and, therefore, remains in synonymy with C. paradisea. The other four species of the vicinaria group are smaller than C. paradisea. Male genitalia: a spine-like process on the ventral margin of the valvae is present, but short and blunt. The aedeagus is broader than in most other species, the manica is slightly bent, and the vesica does not possess cornuti.
Type material
Holotype ( Figs 14 View Figs 9–16 , 17 View Figs 17–19 ) PERU: ♂, [Pasco], Huancabamba, 6000–10000 ft [1829–3048 m], 1903 ( C-0194 with GS-291) ( USNM) .
Other type material
PERU: ♂, holotype of C. admirabilis Warren, 1904 (confirmed junior synonym of C. paradisea ) ( Figs 15 View Figs 9–16 , 19 View Figs 17–19 ), Peru, [Pasco], Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco , [E.] Böttger leg. ( NHM) .
Other material examined
PERU: 1 ♂, [Pasco], Huancabamba, 6000–10000 ft [1829–3048 m] ( NHM) ( C-0196 ); 1 ♂, [Cusco], Paucartambo ( ZMUC) ( C-0063 ); 2 ♂♂ [Puno, Carabaya], Agualani , 9000 ft ( SMF) ( C-0093 with GS- 402; C-0195 with GS-413, Figs 16 View Figs 9–16 , 18 View Figs 17–19 ).
Description
As illustrated. The female is unknown.
Distribution
Eastern Andes of central and south eastern Peru, 1800–3100 m.
Remarks
Only a few specimens of C. paradisea exist in collections. No recently collected material has been available for DNA barcoding and it failed in an old specimen.
The vicinaria View in CoL group
This group comprises three species. The moths are on average smaller than members of the other groups. Wings are composed of cream white, ochreous, dark brown and rosé elements. The male valvae have more pronounced spine-like processes on the ventral margin than species of the other groups. The vesicae do not possess cornuti. All species show a pronounced sexual dimorphism that is possibly an apomorphy of the group. The females have a dark grey ground colour with ochreous patterns; the female of C. hausmanni sp. nov. more resembles those of the parrhasiata group. Females of this group are therefore illustrated on a separate plate. Species are distributed from Colombia to central Peru but not further in the south ( Fig. 2b View Fig. 2 ).
