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 Catasticta flisa viloriai ssp. nov. Holotype : male, Cerro Quiriquire (S. Antonio), Estado Monagas, Venezuela , 1500m , 14-VIII-2005 , col. Costa, in MIZA (fig. 3: g-h) Description: FW length: 27 mm . Dorsal surface: blackish ground-color with white marking. A series of evident premarginal white dots on either FWs and HWs, the apical ones of FWs clearly elongated; submarginal white spots of HWs elongated. Ventral surface: FWs with white discal spots highly suffused by dark scales; premarginal yellow spots very elongated, nearly merged with submarginal ones; HWs with submarginal yellow interneural spots elongated. Diagnostic characters: the new subspecies is characterized by strongly elongated white submarginal spots of either dorsal and ventral FWs and HWs, thus permitting an immediate visual recognition, and approaching ssp. duna Eitschberger & Racheli, 1998 from North-Western Ecuador . In nearby ssp. briseis , corresponding spots are always small and rounded. Paratypes ( 4 males , 1 female ): 1 male , same data as HT, but 22-VII-2005 ; 1 female , same data as HT, but 1200 m ., 31-III-2005 , all in MCCV ; 1 male , same data as HT, but 20-VII-2005 , DNA sample n° 146; 1 male , same data as HT, but 14-VIII-2005 , all in MBLI ; 1 male , same data as HT, but 21-VII-2005 , in FRSV . Distribution: the new subspecies is restricted to Serranía del Turimiquire, where it is quite scarce and localized. Apparently C . flisa is the only known species of Catasticta in the area. Etymology: a noun in the genitive case after Angel Viloria (Maracaibo, Venezuela ) for his rediscovery of the interesting butterfly fauna of Serranía del Turimiquire ( Viloria & Camacho, 1999 ).
