Majeorona ecuatoriana
Goding, 1925
Majeorona ecuatoriana
Goding 1925: 24
.
(Zaruma, Macas, and San Rafael near Bucay,
Ecuador
)
REMARKS.—This species is intermediate in size for the Ecuadorian
Majeorona
species with body length of about
38–40 mm
and wing spans of about
114 mm
. The infuscation on the distal apical cell veins and ambient veins of the wings rather than only bronzing of the distal wings quickly distinguishes this species from other
Majeorona
found in
Peru
.
DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from
Ecuador
(
Metcalf 1963a
) with recent records reported for
Peru
(
Sanborn 2020b
).
Goding (1925)
reported the species from Zaruma, El Oro province, Macas, Morona Santiago province, and San Rafael, Guayas province.
