Fernanmorana, new genus of butterflies from the Amazon region (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)
Based on comparative morphological evidence and previously published phylogenetic hypotheses, a new genus of satyrine nymphalid butterflies, Fernanmorana Viloria & Costa, gen. nov., is diagnosed and described. It is native to the lowlands of the Amazon region and so far known from Brazil and Venezuela. The taxonomy of the new genus is briefly discussed, and some bionomic data of its type species, Fernanmorana insignis (Butler, 1867), comb. nov., are provided.
