Selymbria danieleae Sanborn, 2011

Selymbria danieleae Sanborn 2011: 402 .

TYPE LOCALITY. Belizone, Montagues de Tortue , 427 m, 4 o 14’42”N 52 o 35’06”W, French Guiana .

REMARKS. Type material is in the UGCA and AFSC. Selymbria ahyetios , S. pandora and S. subolivacea can be distinguished from this species by the lack of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing. The infuscation of the fore wing is found only on the apex of the fore wing in S. ahyetios , S. chevauxensis n. sp., S. cinctifera n. sp., S. guatemalensis n. sp., S. guianensis n. sp., and S. pluvialis . The infuscation of the fore wing is found on the apex of the fore wing and on basal apical cells 1–3 and on the radiomedial cross vein in S. boliviaensis n. sp., S. ecuadorensis n. sp., S. iguazuensis n. sp., S. loretoensis n. sp., S. madredediosensis n. sp., S. puntarenasensis n. sp., and S. stigmatica but is restricted to the radiomedial crossvein in S. danieleae .

The shape of the meracanthus can distinguish the three species found in French Guiana. The meracanthus is broadly triangular in S. danieleae , the extended tip is straight in S. chevauxensis n. sp. and the extended tip is curved mediad in S. guianensis n. sp.

DISTRIBUTION. The species is only known from French Guiana ( Sanborn 2011). The faunal studies of SEAG continue to provide new distribution records for French Guiana including the new localities listed below which have expanded the known distribution of the species in the country. Selymbria chevauxensis has also been collected on Montagne de Chevaux with the emergence times overlapping in May.
