Note. The specimens now belonging to Dendropaemon attalus were for a long time named D. amyntas Harold, 1868 . This was corrected when D. attalus was described in Génier and Arnaud (2016: 57) to solve a homonymy. In this publication it was also established that the true D. amyntas , described in Lacordaire (1856: 103), is a species which is only found in the Brazilian cerrado and Atlantic forest, and thus not present in the research area (p. 55). In this checklist we place all records of D. amyntas from the research area under D. attalus .
