Perisama dorbignyi subsp. jurinei, stat. rev.

Perisama dorbignyi jurinei (Guenée, 1872) stat. rev. Perisama jurinei was described originally as Callicore jurinei by Guenée (1872). It was later included in the genus Perisama by Oberthür (1916). Lamas (2004) considered P. jurinei as a subspecies of P. dorbignyi (Guérin-Ménéville, [1844]), whereas Attal & Crosson du Cormier (2010) reinstated its specific status. Perisama dorbignyi is a widespread species, reported from Eastern and Western Cordillera in Colombia, eastern and southern Andean slopes in Ecuador and Peru and on eastern slopes of the Andes in Bolivia. Geographic and individual variation affects mostly the size of the red discal patch, however some differences can also be observed in the shape of the HWV lines, FWD metallic band shape and width of HWD ashen band (Fig. 3). Our phylogenetic analysis based on molecular data show that P. jurinei and P. dorbignyi form a common clade with low genetic distances, below 1.5%. Since there are no significant differences in the morphology of male genitalia, including in the hypandrium (Fig. 4), and no evidence of the two species being sympatric, P. jurinei is here considered as a subspecies of P. dorbignyi.
