Description

- D. subazanalis Błeszyński, 1967

(Fig. 1).

Described as a subspecies of Steneromene azanalis (Walker, 1859), it was rightfully given species status by Gaskin (1986a).

Described from Surinam (holotype in CUIC), this species was reported from the Brazilian state of Pernambuco by Gaskin (1986a).

We have examined additional material from the states of Goiás (Alto Paraíso, 1400 m), Minas Gerais (Unaí, 700 m), Pará (Capitao Poco), and Rondônia (Ariquemes, 180 m; Cacaulândia, 140 m; Porto Velho, 180 m), all in VBC.

The species is also known from Bolivia (Santa Cruz, MHNG), Ecuador (Napo, VBC), French Guiana (MHNG), Guyana (Błeszyński, 1967; Gaskin, 1986a), and Peru (Gaskin, 1986a).
