strandi (Röber, 1927) View in CoL

“ Castnia Strandi View in CoL ” Röber, 1927, Internationale Entomologische Zeitschrift 20 (47): 429.

Type material: Röber (1927a) described a single male specimen which is the holotype by monotypy. This specimen has not been found, it might be in the Senckenberg Natural History Collections , Museum of Zoology, Dresden, Germany but requests for information from that institution have gone unanswered .

Type locality: Macas , Ecuador . Macas is the capital of Morona-Santiago province in southeast Ecuador .

Taxonomic status: The name is a junior primary homonym of Castnia ( Gazera) strandi Niepelt, 1914 and was replaced by Castnia strandiata Röber, 1927 . It was originally described as a species but not mentioned by Miller (1995); Lamas (1995) then synonymised it with Castnia papilionaris velutina Houlbert, 1917 (now in Amauta ). However, as velutina is here considered to be a junior subjective synonym of nominotypical Castnia papilionaris Walker, [1865] (now in Amauta ), strandiata (= strandi Röber nec Niepelt) follows it.

Male genitalia: Not available.

Distribution: Not relevant.
