IV. Divana Miller, 1982 View in CoL

The genus was established by J.Y. Miller, and it is distributed from Mexico to Ecuador ( Miller 1986; Fletcher & Nye 1982; Worthy et al. 2022). The name replaces Cyanostola Houlbert, 1918 , a junior homonym of Cyanostola Saussure, 1892 ( Hymenoptera ). Miller (1986, 1995) included two species ( D. diva and D. tricolor ) with some subspecies, but Lamas (1995) treated it as a monotypic genus with four subspecies. Moraes & Duarte (2014) synonymized Divana under Telchin . Worthy et al. (2022) reinstated the genus, considering it monotypic, with only three subspecies: D. d. diva (Butler, 1870) ; D. d. hoppi (Hering, 1923) and D. d. tricolor (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1874) . The male retinacular configuration in Divana is unique in Castniidae , it does not differ in males and females, and it is found in the subdorsal region of the forewing ventrally ( Miller 1986; Worthy et al. 2022). Divana diva is a medium-large species with striking coloration, but the male wing pattern is clearly defined in each of its subspecies ( Miller 1986; Worthy et al. 2022).
