Paromphacodes resalaria

Description

Paromphacodes resalaria (Schaus, 1929)

Narquena resalaria Schaus, 1929: 53 (Type locality: [Brazil] Santa Catarina); Paromphacodes resalaria (Schaus): Pitkin (1996): 377, figs 35, 210, 236.

Description. The species was described as having dull ochreous forewing with dark fringe, with a row of dark spots from costa near the tip to middle of the anal margin of forewing, and white hindwing with a row of dark marginal spots at interspaces of veins. The last character is rare in Neotropical geometrines. The original colour of wings as described for the holotype, may be faded due moisture. A male of this Brazilian species is unknown.
