Type
locality:
Campo Santo
,
Bogota
,
Colombia
,
the
type
was collected in 1922.
Campo Santo
is a locality in
Cundinamarca department
, north-west of
Bogotá
.
Taxonomic status:
The name is a junior primary homonym of
Castnia amazona
Buchecker, [1899]
, as well as a junior subjective synonym of
C. hodeei
Oberthür, 1881
. Knop originally placed his
amazona
in the
Xanthocastnia
group and the name was treated as a synonym of
Xanthocastnia evalthe wagneri
Buchecker, [1899]
by
Miller
(1995).
Lamas (1995)
examined the
holotype
and having discovered that it is in fact a specimen of
Vadina h. hodeei
, correctly decided not to propose a replacement name.
Male genitalia
: Not available.
Distribution:
Not relevant as the
type
locality is within the range of
Vadina h. hodeei
.
Material examined:
For this study we have examined the
holotype
.
