Chlidanotinae View in CoL : Polyorthini
1. Pseudatteria volcanica (Butler, 1872) ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1–8 ). This brightly colored, diurnal species is recorded from Mexico to Peru ( Obraztsov 1966). Localities cited by Obraztsov (1966) and Miller et al. (2012) included the north coast of Honduras. The larva feeds on three species of Mollinedia (Monimiceae) in Costa Rica ( Brown et al. 2019). This species was photographed and collected by EVDB.
Specimens examined: Honduras: Dept Olancho, La Muralla Centro de visit., 1421 m, 8–10 Apr 2021 (1♂), 8–10 May 2021 (1♀), E. van den Berghe ( EAP) .
2. Pseudatteria species. Images of what appears to be a second species of Pseudatteria were posted on iNaturalist by EVDB. However, owing to variability in forewing markings among some species of Pseudatteria , we are uncertain whether the image represents a second species or merely variation in P. volcanica (see Obraztsov 1966).
Image examined: Honduras: [Dept. Francisco Morazán], San Antonio de Oriente , 23 Jul 2023, E. van den Berghe ( EAP) (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/75300173) .
3. Polyortha species 1 (aff. evestigana Razowski, 1984). Our largest specimen of Polyortha , a female from Camp Quetzal, has genitalia very similar to those of P. evestigmana , described from a single female from El Salvador. This is the first record of this genus from Honduras.
Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. Lempira, P.N. Celaque, Camp Quetzal , 2600 m, 24 May 2021 (1♀), E, van den Berghe ( EAP) .
4. Polyortha species 2 (common brown).An undetermined species of Polyortha was collected often at Camp Quetzal in Parque Nacional Celaque by EVDB.
Specimens examined: Honduras: Dept. Lempira, P.N. Celaque, Camp Quetzal , 2600 m, 24 May 2021 (7♂, 2♀), 12–16 Jun 2021 (3♂, 4♀), E. van den Berghe ( EAP). Dept. Olancho, La Muralla Centro de visit., 1421 m, 8–10 Apr 2021 (1♀), E. van den Berghe ( EAP) .
5. Polyortha species 3 (pale gray). A single specimen of a pale gray species of Polyortha was collected during the survey work.
Specimen examined: Honduras: Dept. Olancho, La Muralla Centro de visit., 1421 m, 8–10 May 2021 (1♂), E. van den Berge ( EAP) .
