Brassolis granadensis Stichel

(Fig. 3 D, 8M)

Diagnosis: Males can be recognized by a combination of five characters: (1) dorsal FW postmedial band orange and nearly entire (small brown spot at crossvein m2–m3); (2) dorsal FW postmedial band wider below discal cell than in B. isthmia; (3) lack a dorsal HW postmedial band; (4) brown androconial patch below vein Cu2, matching the wing background color. In B. isthmia this androconial patch is lighter than the wing background color; (5) abdomen brown dorsally. According to Bristow (2008) females can be recognized by the absence of dorsal HW postmedial (submarginal) band, by the deep-orange dorsal FW band, and by the flame-like shape of the spots that range across the upper part of the FW discal cell.

Distribution: Colombia and Ecuador (Casagrande 2004, Bristow 2008).

Subspecies: None.

Remarks: Females were not available for examination. The female from the MGCL (Colombia, Tolima, Payande, Mina Vieja area, 800– 950 m. 1974, genitalia preparation CMP 07-141) listed by Bristow (2008) as granadensis actually corresponds to isthmia (R. Bristow pers. comm.)
