Diagnosis. Opsiphanes bogotanus differs from Opsiphanes cassiae , a closely related species, in having the VHW with a rounded eyespot between Sc+R 1 and M 1 that usually reaches or exceeds M 1, and a dark-brown band extends from the base of the wing to this eyespot. It differs from Opsiphanes mexicana stat. nov., another closely related species, in having the DFW oblique band with an uneven distal margin, and the portion of this band on CuA 2 -2A is generally narrower ( Fig. 4a View FIGURE 4 ). Molecular analyses recovered Opsiphanes bogotanus as closely related to Opsiphanes cassiae and Opsiphanes mexicana stat. nov. ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ) (genetic distance 1.6–2.7% and 1.5–1.7%, respectively).

Male genitalia. Tegumen in dorsal view with the anterior margin wider than the posterior; anterior projection of saccus in lateral view twice as long as dorsal arms of saccus, in ventral view with a dilated anterior region; valva in dorsal view with convergingly curved posterior portions ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ).

Female genitalia. Lamella antevaginalis membranous medially and sclerotized laterally; lamella postvaginalis rounded medially, with this portion the same size as the ostium; ostium with weaker sclerotization than lamella ante and postvaginalis ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ).

Variation. Subspecies vary in the following characters: DFW, the length, width and color of the oblique band. DHW, the marginal band faint to absent in males, and well marked in females. HW, the crenulation of the outer margin. VFW, the width and color of the oblique band, in females, the portion of this band on CuA 2 -2A tends to be more yellowish; and the EIII submarginal line may or may not reach CuA 2. VHW, the size of the eyespot between Sc+R 1 and M 1, and the width of its dark-brown ring; and the shape of the eyespot between M 3 and CuA 2 ( Figs 4–10 View FIGURE 4 View FIGURE5 View FIGURE 6 View FIGURE 7 View FIGURE 8 View FIGURE 9 View FIGURE 10 ).
