Amorbia productana ( Walker, 1863 )

53. Amorbia productana ( Walker, 1863) View in CoL ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 17–24 ).

Walker (1863: 320) described A. productana from Honduras without a specific type locality. Phillips-Rodríguez & Powell (2007) gave the distribution as Mexico to Brazil. They placed A. productana in its own species group with males characterized by a large costal fold and a swollen Rs vein in the hindwing. The female genitalia lack lateral pockets of the sterigma, which are characteristic of other species in the genus. Adults fly throughout the year and appear to be restricted to elevations below 800 m. Phillips-Rodríguez & Powell (2007) listed Sabicea panamensis Wernham ( Rubiaceae ) and Veronia [now Vernonanthura ] patens (Kunth) H. Rob. ( Asteraceae ) as hosts of A. productana in Costa Rica, both of which are widespread Neotropical plants. The immature stages of A. productana are undescribed.
