12 Catasticta revancha Rey & Pyrcz, 1996 View in CoL (TL: Fundo Piedra Blanca, San Vicente de la Revancha , Parque Nacional El Tamá, Táchira, Venezuela, 2350 m.)

(fig. 8: g-i; fig. 23)

This species is apparently endemic to the Venezuelan side of El Tamá, but sampling from the Colombian side of the same massif is lacking. Information about its ecology, ethology, and resemblance to Leptophobia eleone ( Doubleday, 1847) were provided by Rey & Pyrcz (1996). Those authors considered it to be a close relative of Catasticta poujadei Dognin from southern Ecuador and northern and central Peru because of similarities in its wing pattern. However, phylogeny of Andean Pieridae is yet poorly studied, and the striking similarity convergence in pattern between C. revancha and C. poujadei may be fortuitous.
