Type material. Thymele chrysorrhoea Godman & Salvin, 1893was described based on one male [ holotype] from Volcan de Chiriquí[Barú], Panama. The male holotypeis deposited at the NHMUKwith the following labels: / Type / Type [verso from the same label:] H 194/ V[olcano]. de Chiriqui, 25–40[?] ft. Champion./ Sp. figured./ B.C.A. Lep. Rhop. Thymele chrysorrhoea,G. & S./ Godman–Salvin Coll. 1912.–23./ BMNH(E) #1236054/.
Diagnosis.FW length: males 23 mm(n=2). Telemiades chrysorrhoeais distinguished from other species of the “ centritesgroup” by the absence or reduction of the three apical hyaline spots in R 3–R 4, R 4–R 5, and R 5–M 1inFW. Natural history. Janzen & Hallwachs (2009)partially illustrated the immatures stages of T. chrysorrhoeafound at Area de Conservación de Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Immatures have been reported on some Fabaceaespecies: Inga herrerae, I. leiocalcynia, I. longispica, I. marginata, I. mortoniana, I. punctata, I. sapindoides, I. semialata, I. vera,and Zygia palmana.
Distribution. Telemiades chrysorrhoeais known only from Chiriquí, Panama, and from Conservation Area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Taxonomic discussion. Thymele chrysorrhoea Godman & Salvin, 1893was first transferred to Telegonus( Shepard 1931). Next, it was synonymized by Evans (1953)with Telemiades centrites gallius. This synonym was accepted until Burns & Janzen (2005), who removed T. chrysorrhoeafrom it and re–established the status of Telemiades gallius. The analysis of the typematerial of T. chrysorrhoeaand Telemiades galliusreinforces the interpretation of Burns & Janzen (2005), who treated them as distinct species from T. centrites. Despite its similarity with T. gallius, T. chrysorrhoeacan be easily distinguished from the former by the absence or reduction of the three apical hyaline spots in R 3–R 4, R 4–R 5and R 5–M 1inFW and by the orange spot on the outer margin in HW. Besides morphological characters, Burns & Janzen (2005)indicated that molecular data also corroborate the distinction between the two species. Although occurring in sympatry, T. chrysorrhoeais typical of nebulous forest environments, occurring between 800–1400 m, while T. galliusis considered rare and occurs in wet forest areas between 600–900 min the Area de Conservación de Guanacaste, Costa Rica( Burns & Janzen 2005). Examined material. PANAMA: Chiriqui—no specific locality, 1 male, NHMUK 010242182* ( NHMUK). Holotypewith data already mentioned.
