Ordo: Lepidoptera

Genus: Oenomaus
Name
Oenomaus morroensis Faynel & Moser – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Distribution, habitat, and remarks
Described by Faynel and Moser (2008)[1] from five males from Brazil (SC, RS), but no other specimens are known. It appears to be a species of lower montane and subtropical forest.
Intraspecific variation
A small white spot on VHW cell Sc+R1-Rs that is displaced basally (Faynel and Moser 2008[1]) is present in the holotype, but not in the paratypes.
Behavior/biology
Although Oenomaus morroensis is unrecorded north of Santa Catarina, a reared male from São Paulo (see under Oenomaus moseri) could possibly be this species.
Female
Unknown.
COI DNA sequence
One paratype has been barcoded (CF-LYC-015). As already noted, this sequence is 5.0% divergent from the sympatric and superficially similar Oenomaus moseri.
