Oenomaus brulei Faynel

Distribution, habitat, and remarks.

Faynel (2008) described Oenomaus brulei from one male collected in the lowlands of French Guiana. Since then, another male and female from French Guiana have been examined.

New material examined.

French Guiana.- 1♂: Guyane, no date, S. Fernandez leg., CF-LYC-033 (CF). 1♀: Montagne des Singes, 5°07'N, 52°69'W, 5.XII.2007, T. Rosant leg., gen. prep. CF n°440, CF-LYC-034 (CF) (Fig. 14).

Female. We associate a female (Figs 14, 31) which has the same ventral wing pattern as the male, which occurs in French Guiana (as do the known males), and which has a very similar COI DNA sequence to that of the males.

COI DNA sequence.

Divergence among the three known specimens is 0.2%.
