Psychocampa cf. bactriana (Butler, 1878)

( Fig. 1D )

Psychocampa Grote & Robinson, 1867 is a relatively diverse genus but has not been revised and thus many undescribed taxa remain. Identifications can be difficult, especially in those taxa belonging to a group near P. bactriana ( St Laurent & Kawahara 2019) . We preliminarily identify the large Psychocampa in MPUJ as P. cf. bactriana pending a revision of the group ( bactriana is the oldest available name for the species in this group). In general, male genitalia of Psychocampa are homogenous and provide few speciesspecific characters, but are readily recognized by the large, broad, simple valvae, with an elongated, narrow uncus, and heavily sclerotized and robust gnathos arms ( St Laurent et al. 2018; St Laurent & Kawahara 2019).
