An illustrated annotated check-list of the species of Catasticta (s. l.) Butler (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) of Venezuela Author Bollino, Maurizio Author Costa, Mauro text Zootaxa 2007 1469 1 42 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.176651 c693fa7b-b09f-407d-80c3-c870485429ae 1175-5326 176651 6 Catasticta philais (C. & R. Felder, 1865 ) (TL: Colombia , Bogotá) (fig. 6: a-b; fig. 17) The nominotypical subspecies is widespread along the northern part of the Colombian Cordillera Oriental, but is never common. Catasticta philais borgesi Eitschberger & Racheli, 1998 (TL: Venezuela , Táchira) is the Venezuelan representative of the species, and is restricted to El Tamá, where it flies in sympatry with C . philoscia . These species can hardly be distinguished in the field, but the following differences, mostly ventral wing pattern differences (fig. 1), are consistent. A) FW yellow interneural spot in cell R4/R5-M1 large in philoscia , a small dot in philais . B) HW whitish area at base of cells M1-M2 and CuA1-CuA2) large in philoscia , small in philais . C) HW yellow interneural spot in cell CuA1-CuA2 (and usually also other yellow interneural spots of VHW) long in philoscia , a small dot in philais . No females of ssp. philais or borgesi are known.
