Remarks.
This species was described in
Ptychotricos
Schaus, 1894
with a question mark indicating uncertainty with respect to its placement in the genus. It indeed does not seem to belong in a monophyletic concept of the genus, but to be more closely related to species currently placed in the genera
Heliura
Butler, 1876b
and
Delphyre
Walker, 1854
(L. R. Pinheiro, unpublished data), such as
H. excavata
(
Dognin, 1910
)
and
D. maculosa
(
Hampson, 1898
