status

 

Punargentus blanchardii celendini Pyrcz & Wojtusiak 2010 (Argyrophorus) comb. nov.

Holotype (male) MUSM, Lima (Photo examined).

Type locality: Peru, Dept. Cajamarca, Celendín, Sucre, S06°54’02” / W78°07’36” 2650–2750 m., 17 June 1998.

Distribution. Peruvian altiplano ( Fig. 29).

Remarks. These two taxa were recently described thoroughly and illustrated by Pyrcz & Wojtusiak (2010). As discussed above, under Argyrophorus , Punargentus is phylogenetically distinct from Agryrophorus. Pyrcz & Wojtusiak did not indicate a sister-taxon relationship between P. blanchardii and any other species, but the more rounded wing shape and pattern of forewing ocelli are very similar to P. lamna and P. angusta . Biogeographically, all three of these species are high Andean puna inhabitants. We note that unlike other Punargentus species, P. blanchardii exhibits a pupillated apical ocellus on the FWV ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 C).
