Occurs in the high paramo (>
4000m
.) of southern
Peru
,
Bolivia
, northern
Chile
and
Argentina
(

).
Remarks.
Material was unavailable for detailed study, but the species’ morphology and distribution and has lately been reviewed by
Cerdeña
et al.
(2014)
. The forewings appear to be more pointed than other species of
Punargentus
, with the outer margin evenly curved so that there is hardly an “angle” at the anal angle (
Fig. 11
E, F). The dorsal surface of both wings may exhibit silver scales or be predominantly brown. The unpupillated ocellus between forewing M1-M2 typical of the genus is present, as are the lentuicular submarginal yellow streaks on the ventral surfaces of both wings.
Etymology
. Named for its collector, Gustav Garlepp (Peña & Ugarte, 1997).
