Description
reimoseri Zerny, 1912
(Fig. 20)
Ctenucha reimoseri Zerny, 1912b: 124. Holotype female [by monotypy]: PARAGUAY, San Luis; with two labels: printed label “Reimoser, Paraguay, San Luis” and handwritten label “ Ctenucha reimoseri Zerny type ♀”.
Current combination. Ctenucha reimoseri Zerny, 1912.
Condition of the type. The left antenna is broken and the wings are slightly rubbed.
Remarks. Zerny (1912) thought that this species was allied to Ctenucha circe (Cramer, 1780). Even though this might seem a reasonable hypothesis judging by the figures of C. circe available in the literature (Cramer 1780, pl. 263, fig. D and pl. 264, fig. E; Draudt 1915, fig. 26 row d), the illustrations do not well match a syntype of C. circe that is deposited in the BMNH. In fact, judging from its habitus, C. circe is likely misplaced in Ctenucha. C. reimoseri, on the other hand, has an habitus sufficiently similar to Ctenucha virginica (Charpentier, 1830), senior synonym of C. latreillana Kirby, 1837 (type species of Ctenucha), that it is likely properly placed in that genus.
