Ephialtias constricta Warren, 1901: 440 View in CoL .
TYPE LOCALITY: Brazil, Bahia.
TYPE: Syntype ³ ( BMNH).
DISCUSSION: Warren (1901), in his original description of constricta , distinguished it from L. angulosa by being slightly smaller and by having a narrower, more curved stripe in the HW. The BMNH specimens of constricta I dissected match the type precisely and are from the state of Bahia in Central Brazil, where the type was collected. Their genitalia indicate an extremely close relationship with L. angulosa ; the two appear to be sister species. They can be separated by wing size, as well as by several features of their male and female genitalia. Distinguishing characters of the genitalia include: thinner socii in L constricta males, lacking a dorsal flange as in L. angulosa (fig. 322A); a blunt ( constricta ) rather than acute ( angulosa ) valva apex; external process of signum rounded in L. constricta , but broadly truncate in L. angulosa (fig. 322E). The two species are apparently sympatric throughout their ranges.
DISTRIBUTION: Brazil (AMNH, BMNH, NMW, VOB).
