Parnara ranrunna Sonan 1936
Description
Parnara ranrunna Sonan, 1936
Zephyrus 6:215.
Label: “ Parnara / ranrunna Sonan / DET. J. SONAN,” “ Ranrun/ 10 III 1926 / S. Isshiki,” “ No. 67,” “ Type [in red].”
A single male specimen was designated as the holotype by Sonan (1936), and the holotype was retrieved from TARI (Fig. 25–27). Evans (1949) synonymized this taxon with Caltoris bromus yanuca Fruhstorfer, 1911. However, his treatment was not followed by most subsequent authors (e. g. Shirôzu 1960; Hamano 1986; Chiba et al. 1992), who retained it as a distinct Caltoris species. Yamanaka (1980), citing an unpublished idea from Hiroshi Tsukiyama, regarded this taxon as a junior synonym of Caltoris cahira austeni (Moore, 1884). This viewpoint was endorsed by Hsu and Wang (2005), and accepted by the present study.
