Bardaxima brauni ( Schaus, 1928) View in CoL

Gisara brauni Schaus, 1928: 33 View in CoL . Lectotype male, COLOMBIA: [Toli-

ma]: San Antonio (Fassl) (USNM), designated by Schintlmeister

(2016: 85) [examined].

Diagnosis. Male 60 mm wingspan. FW dorsally dark fuscous, irrorated white; an elongate white patch, mixed with sparse blackish scales, on tornus. HW dark gray, cilia white.

Material examined. Lectotype (image).

Distribution. Colombia.

Remarks. The white irroration on FW dorsally distinguishes this taxon from all the species in the procne group, where it belongs.It’s pattern indicates, however, that it might be just a darker, local form of B. procne . Genitalia should be checked to confirm this. The lectotype is illustrated in Schintlmeister (2016: 85).
