Ferenta cacica

Description

Ferenta cacica (Guenée, 1852 b)

(Figs 7: C–D, 90: G)

This species is separated from other Ferenta species by its wider, more ovuloid orange hindwing band. It has a more southern distribution than other Ferenta. The type locality is Brazil and all specimens and images we have seen are from southeastern Brazil, with records extending as far south as Rio Grande do Sul. There are recent photographs, but we are not aware of recent specimens and no COI 5’ sequences were available.
