Callipia fulvida Warren, 1907

Figs 108–109 , 116–117 , 128

Assigned BIN: BOLD:AAI6978.

Diagnosis

Among the four species with a yellow-red ground colour (in comparison with the deep rosy species around C. parrhasiata), C. fulvida tends to have the most yellowish colour, but this is not a fully reliable diagnostic feature. The extent of yellow (vs dark brown) is most extended in C. fulvida among the four species, and the yellow blotch always reaches the costa at about two thirds from the base, producing an isolated brown spot. Although this is also seen in some individuals of the other species, the combination of these characters in combination with the geographical distribution will usually allow to identify C.fulvida without DNA barcoding or dissection. COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar (but not similar looking) species ( C.rosetta ) is 4.4%.

Type material

Originally two syntypes (males) from Peru, [Puno], Carabaya, Agualani , 9000 ft [2743 m], Mar. 1905, wet season, [G.R.] Ockenden leg. ( NHM). One male was selected as lectotype ( Figs 108 , 116 ).

Other material examined

PERU: 12 ♂♂, same collection data as for lectotype ( AMNH, RCGB, SMF, ZSM) ( C-0078; 0171; 0173; 0176–0184 ); 4 ♂♂, Puno, 5 km E of Limbani, 3000 m ( ZMUC) ( C-0076 with GS-293, COI sequence 658 bp, BIN; C-0077 with GS-303, COI sequence 658 bp, BIN; C-0174 with GS-450, COI sequence 307 bp, Figs 109 , 117 ; C-0175 ).

BOLIVIA: 1 ♀, [La Paz Department], Cuesta von Cillutincara [Cerro de Sillutincara, ca 16.29° S, 67.90° W], 3000–3500 m ( ZSM) ( C-0172 with GS, Fig. 128 ).

Description

Male and female as illustrated.

Distribution

Eastern Andes of south eastern Peru and Bolivia, 2700–3000 m.
