Comments: We consider Capperia insomnis to be a senior synonym of Procapperia hackeri . These two species are very close to each other in the wing pattern and characteristics. The presence of a pair of hair tufts in the middle part of the ventral side of the specialized eighth sternite of males can be considered as an autapomorphy for C. insomnis . This species is different from all known Procapperia species in several characters and even host plants (see above).
