Description
OITICICASTNIA LAMAS, 1995 (FIG. 36)
Type species
Castnia erycina Westwood, 1881
Included species
Oiticicastnia erycina (Westwood, 1881).
Comments
This monotypic genus has a very distinct wing pattern, resembling those of Eumaeus (Lycaenidae), Lyropterix (Riodinidae), and Diaethria (Nymphalidae). Oiticicastnia erycina shares with the genera Castnius and Eupalamides characters of the uncus, whereas the morphology of the gnathos and sacculus is quite similar to Prometheus. The valva is very characteristic, with the distance between the sacculus and cuculus shortened.
