Queiroz-Santos, Luziany, Casagrande, Mirna Martins & Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, 2024, Taxonomic revision of Siculodes Guenée and revalidation of Aziba Walker (Lepidoptera, Thyrididae, Siculodinae, Siculodini), Zootaxa 5543 (4), pp. 501-538 : 526-527

Aziba roseobrunneata (Heppner & Thiele, 2017) comb. nov.

Siculodes roseobrunneata Heppner & Thiele, 2017 . Lepidoptera Novae, 10 (1–2): 28–32; 1 male holotype, Martinique .

Type material. The holotype male is deposited at the MGCL with the following label: Martinique: Gros-Morne , ex larva em. 15–18 Dec 2014, E. Dumbardon (gen. slide JBH 3239; JBH photo 12456) ( MGCL) .

Taxonomic history. This species was described based on one holotype male and 17 paratypes (five males and 12 females) from Martinique.

Taxonomic comments. As mentioned by the authors ( Heppner & Thiele 2017a), S. roseobrunneata has wing characters close to A. substrigata comb. rev. and A. falcata comb. rev. but differs in characters of the male genitalia from Siculodes . After carefully analyzing the images of the holotype and paratype and the genitalia of both species, we concluded that S. roseobrunneata , based on morphological characters such straight costal margin of valva, does not belong to Siculodes but rather to Aziba gen. rev., and therefore, A. roseobrunneata comb. nov. is a new combination.

Etymology. Heppner & Thiele (2017a) named the species due to the rosy-brown coloration of the wings.
