An illustrated annotated check-list of the species of Catasticta (s. l.) Butler (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) of Venezuela Bollino, Maurizio Costa, Mauro Zootaxa 2007 1469 1 42 RT86 Lathy & Rosenberg, 1912 Lathy & Rosenberg 1912 [188,703,711,737] Insecta Pieridae Catasticta Animalia Lepidoptera 9 10 Arthropoda species seitzi    Catasticta seitzihad not previously been reported from Venezuela, so we were perplexed at finding Venezuelan specimens of  C. seitzicollected on the Cordillera de La Costa (Aragua and Distrito Federal, now Distrito Capital) and represented in most public and private Venezuelan collections. The peculiar wing pattern of these specimens is reminiscent of nominotypical C.  seitzifrom the Colombian Cordillera Oriental, but differs consistently in some characters on the ventral surfaces of both wings. Although differences in ventral wing patterns often differentiate species of  Catasticta, we opt for the more conservative strategy of describing the Venezuelan population of  C. seitzias a new subspecies.
