Tetrisia florigera Walker, 1867

(Figs 6: G–H, 18: G, 30: E, 71: E, 72: E, 91: E)

This species is unique within the Ophiderini as the only species with an oblique reddish pink hindwing patch conspicuous against a black background. We include specimen records from Venezuela and French Guiana, and a live image from Peru. It has also been recorded from Costa Rica (Schaus 1911b) and Brazil (Felder & Rogenhofer 1874) in addition to the type locality, Colombia (Walker 1867b).

In 1867 Walker described the genus Tetrisia in two separate publications, one for Hemiptera (Walker 1867a) and one for Lepidoptera (Walker 1867b) . The Hemiptera genus name was published nearly four months before the Lepidoptera genus. Therefore, a replacement genus name is required for Tetrisia florigera (Waldkircher et al. 2004) .
