Name

Oenomaus ambiguus Faynel – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Distribution, habitat, and remarks

Oenomaus ambiguus is a poorly known, lowland species whose ventral wing pattern is virtually indistinguishable from those of Oenomaus cortica and Oenomaus gaia. It has been recorded from French Guiana and Amazonian Peru. The previous record from Amazonas, Brazil (Faynel 2008) was incorrect.

New material examined. French Guiana

. 1♂: Bas Maroni, Guyane Française, gen. prep. CF n°319 (MNHN H-452). Peru.– 1♂: MD, Río La Torre, 300 m, Tambopata Res., 27.IX.1987, S.S. Nicolay, gen. prep. CF n°404 (USNM).

Female

Unknown.

COI DNA sequence

The paratype from Peru has been barcoded (CF-LYC-025), and the sequence is 2–3% divergent from those of Oenomaus cortica, Oenomaus gaia and Oenomaus morroensis (Table 1).
