Subgenus Uranotaenia

pulcherrima subspecies elnora ( Uranotaenia pulcherrima elnora Paterson & Shannon, 1927). Holotype Ψ: Tres Pozos, Embarcación, Salta, Argentina (USNM).

Paterson & Shannon (1927) published the name elnora as an addition to a binomen denoting subspecific rank, but labelled it as a new variety: “ Uranotaenia pulcherrima Elnora nueva variedad”. In as much as the authors did not unambiguously indicate that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, it has subspecific rank from the date of its original publication.
