Vulsirea violacea Fabricius 1803
Description
Vulsirea violacea Fabricius, 1803 [Fig. 81]
Distribution. Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina.
Distribution in Colombia. Antioquia and Tolima.
Remarks. The genus was recorded for Colombia by Torres (2004). We confirm the identification of the species as V. violacea, which can be recognized by the coloration metallic dark blue with red maculae distributed along the body, which present high polymorphism within populations.
