Genus
Purana
Distant, 1905
Remarks
The
Purana carmente
species group was proposed by
Schouten and Duffels (2002)
, of which 16 member species have been found so far in southern
China
,
Vietnam
,
Thailand
,
Malaysia
,
Indonesia
and the
Philippines
. The independence of the
Purana carmente
species group was also brought up by
Lee (2009b)
. The new
Purana
species
described below belongs to this species group.
Two of the other
Purana
species
of Mindanao,
Purana nana
Lee, 2009
and
Purana crassinotata
Lee, 2015
, are included in the
Purana abdominalis
species group proposed by
Lee (2009a)
.
Lee (2009a)
suggested
Purana guttularis
(Walker, 1858)
be placed in the
Purana ubina
species group, but no male specimens have been confirmed. Its
type
specimen, which is a female, seems close to
Purana kpaworensis
Boulard, 2007
, which was placed in the
Purana tigrina
species group by
Lee (2009a)
, considering the similarities in fore wing venation. However, the species group placements of
P. guttularis
and
P. kpaworensis
need further study.
