- Bia actorion ecuatoria DeVries & Penz, NEW SSP. (Figs 3 c–d, 10b, 12) Diagnostic description. Defined by the following combination of characters: (1) MF DFW white apical ocelli medium-small (larger in F). (2) MF DFW orange band medium-wide; orange scales somewhat extended proximally along veins. (3) M DFW iridescent band from anal margin to approximately half of the CuA2 cell. F DFW blue iridescence well developed but variable; usually extended across the entire DC, diffuse anteriorly; usually visible at the CuA1-CuA2 intersection; below the discal cell, the iridescent area is wide and it spreads towards the tornus. F seems indistinguishable from actorion actorion. (4) M DFW androconial organ on the CuA- CuA1-CuA2 intersection dark brown, matching scale color of surrounding area. (5) DHW discal androconial pad chocolate-brown, comparable in color to the associated hairpencil. (6) M DHW discal hairpencil dark brown. (7) F VFW ripple pattern of the postmedial area clearly less dense than that of M. Etymology. This taxon is named after the country of Ecuador. Type material. Holotype M (Fig. 3 c), deposited in the PJD collection, two labels separated by // and transcribed verbatim: Ecuador: Prov. Sucumbios, Garza Cocha—Anyañgu, 175km E.S. E. of Coca, 6 Aug 1993, P. DeVries, T. R. Walla & H. Greeny, Trap: 15 und // HOLOTYPE Bia actorion ecuatoria Penz & DeVries, 2017. Paratypes are listed in Appendix, and Fig. 3 d shows a paratype F from the same locality as the holotype. Distribution and examined specimens. Fig. 12 and Appendix. Remarks. The dorsal hind wing androconial pads are paler than expected in two specimens collected in areas near Iquitos (Peru; CMNH collection, Appendix), resembling those of rebeli. Photographs of specimens from Colombia, Leticia and San Vicente del Caguán provided by Gonzalo Andrade fit the description above (complete label data in Appendix).
