( Fig. 10B View FIGURE 10 )
“ Castnia Amazona nov. spec. ” Knop, 1925, Entomologische Zeitschrift 39 (11): 42–43.
Type material: Described by Knop (1925) from a single male in the collection of Ludwig Pfeiffer (1878–1926) in Frankfurt am Main ( Fig. 10B View FIGURE 10 ); this is the holotype by original designation. The specimen is now in ETHZ .
Type locality: Campo Santo , Bogota, Colombia , the type was collected in 1922. Campo Santo is a locality in Cundinamarca department , north-west of Bogotá.
Taxonomic status: The name is a junior primary homonym of Castnia amazona Buchecker, [1899] , as well as a junior subjective synonym of C. hodeei Oberthür, 1881 . Knop originally placed his amazona in the Xanthocastnia group and the name was treated as a synonym of Xanthocastnia evalthe wagneri Buchecker, [1899] by Miller (1995). Lamas (1995) examined the holotype and having discovered that it is in fact a specimen of Vadina h. hodeei , correctly decided not to propose a replacement name.
Male genitalia: Not available.
Distribution: Not relevant as the type locality is within the range of Vadina h. hodeei .
Material examined: For this study we have examined the holotype.
