Pyrisitia westwoodii (Boisduval, 1836)

Pyrisitia westwoodii (Boisduval, 1836) is a species distinct from Pyrisitia dina (Poey, 1832)

Currently considered a subspecies of Pyrisitia dina (Poey, 1832) ( type locality Cuba), Terias westwoodii Boisduval, 1836 ( type locality Mexico) is prominently separated genetically from the insular taxa (Fig. 6).

Compared to Pyrisitia dina helios (M. Bates, 1934)

( type locality Bahamas) the Fst/Gmin statistics are

0.46/0.03 and their COI barcodes are 2.7% (18 bp)

different. Therefore, we propose that Pyrisitia Fig. 6. Pyrisitia westwoodii (red), and dina (blue)

and parvumbra ( Jamaica).

westwoodii (Boisduval, 1836) , reinstated status is a species-level taxon and employ Pyrisitia westwoodii gabriela Le Crom & Llorente, 2004 comb. nov. We also confirm Pyrisitia parvumbra (Kaye, 1925) as a species (Fig. 6; 2.6%, 17 bp barcode difference).
