Rediscovery of Pseudotinea caprina (Lepidoptera, Riodinidae): Remarks on its distribution and first description of the female

Abstract

A new locality record for Pseudotinea caprina (Lepidoptera, Riodinidae) is reported, an important data point given the lack of records in the literature, museums and collections over the past 60 y. The female collected on 9-11-X-2010 at Lago Azul State Park, previously unknown, is described. A reliable evaluation of the conservation status of this species is currently impractical, because existing locality records are not reliable or contains imprecise information.
