Treatment

Vacerra molla E. Bell, 1959 View in CoL is a synonym of Paratrytone barroni Evans, 1955

This species is known only from one female of Paratrytone barroni Evans, 1955 and one male of Vacerra molla E. Bell, 1959 , both from Ecuador, which have similar distinct wing patterns. In particular, like in no other Hesperiidae , the hindwing below has a single cream band from mid-costa to the outer margin at cell CuA 2 -1A+2A, continuing as white fringes, and partly seen on the dorsal surface as a straight streak of spots. Therefore, V. molla is designated a junior subjective synonym of Paratrytone barroni Evans, 1955 .
