Haematera pyrame described in Callidula
Andrew V. Z. Brower
Introduction
A geographically variable neotropical species, the smallest in the subtribe. It ranges from Nicaragua to the Amazon Basin. Larvae feed on Urvillea ulmacea (Sapindaceae) (DeVries, 1987).Nomenclature
For many years, it was thought that the generic name of this taxon was Callidula Hübner [1819], but the type species, Papilio pyramus Fabricius 1781 (an invalid junior homonym of Papilio pyramus Cramer 1779, a hesperiid) was incorrectly identified as a butterfly, when it is in fact a day-flying moth from the Moluccas, for which the name is valid (Callidulidae).Other Names for Haematera pyrame described in Callidula
- Haematera
- Callidula
- Papilio pyramus
- Papilio pyramus
- Haematera pyramus f. decolorata
- Haematera rubra
- Haematera thysbe
