Urbanus (Urbanoides) elmina Evans 1952

Urbanus (Urbanoides) elmina Evans, 1952 is confirmed from Colombia In the original description of Urbanus (Urbanoides) elma Grishin, 2025 (type locality in Venezuela: Mérida) we provided a phylogenetic tree showing specimens of Urbanus (Urbanoides) elmina Evans, 1952 (type locality in Ecuador: Rio Pastaza) from Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina (Zhang et al. 2025a). The only specimen from Colombia (without further locality details) was the paratype of U. elma. To date, we have sequenced specimens of U. elmina from additional localities in Ecuador and also from western Colombia (Valle del Cauca and Cauca Departments), thus confirming this species from Colombia (Fig. 11). While we have not found more specimens of U. elma, we stumbled upon a specimen of a new species, which is described next.

Abstract

Urbanus (Urbanoides) elmina Evans, 1952 is confirmed from Colombia In the original description of Urbanus (Urbanoides) elma Grishin, 2025 (type locality in Venezuela: Mérida) we provided a phylogenetic tree showing specimens of Urbanus (Urbanoides) elmina Evans, 1952 (type locality in Ecuador: Rio Pastaza) from Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina (Zhang et al. 2025a). The only specimen from Colombia (without further locality details) was the paratype of U. elma. To date, we have sequenced specimens of U. elmina from additional localities in Ecuador and also from western Colombia (Valle del Cauca and Cauca Departments), thus confirming this species from Colombia (Fig. 11). While we have not found more specimens of U. elma, we stumbled upon a specimen of a new species, which is described next.
