Arrows I–III refer to diagnostic characters as referenced in the text: I = tergite VIII, II = papillae anales, III = apophyses anteriores. Scale bar = 1 mm. Diagnosis. Cicinnus orthane can be recognized by the tan coloration and irregular splotches of dark brown scales that variously cover the wings. The discal region of the fore- and hindwing bears a distinct, ovoid to circular brown-gray spot. Similar species include C. incerta ( Möschler, 1878 ) , C. pudens Schaus, 1911 , C. solvens Dyar, 1914 , and C. melgibsoni Herbin & Monzón, 2015 . Cicinnus orthane displays the most yellow (rather than dull brown-gray to nearly orange) ground coloration (though the variable blotches of dark brown may result in C. orthane appearing overall darker). The discal spots of C. orthane are the most well-developed of these species. Distribution. ( Fig. 10 ) The type locality of C. orthane is Concepción, Chile , but considering our above discussion, this may be erroneous. The same, or a related species, from southeastern Brazil which we treat here as C. cf orthane , is widely distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in the states of Bahia , Espírito Santo , Rio de Janeiro , São Paulo , and Santa Catarina and from semi-deciduous forest of Minas Gerais and São Paulo . Remarks. Fig. 6a displays the unique scale pouch of segment VIII seen in this species. Other dissected Cicinnus s. l. , such as C. melsheimeri , are not known to have a compact pouch of scales tucked in the intersegmental region on the ventrum of VIII.
