Name
Andesobia sanguinea (Hampson, 1907) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Turuptiana sanguinea Hampson, 1907: 238. Type locality: Bolivia, La Paz, 9000’. Male lectotype, here designated [BMNH].
Type material
Hampson (1907)[1] based his description on what he believed to be a male and a female, but both specimens (BMNH) are males. One syntype is in rather poor condition with rubbed, partially broken wings, lacking antennae and abdomen. The second syntype, in excellent condition, labeled “Type” with a round, red-bordered label and a blue label reading “genitalia slide no. 3423” is here designated as lectotype to ensure the stability of the name.
Diagnosis
Andesobia sanguinea is the only member of the genus with red colouration, prevalent on the hindwing and often the forewing, the latter varying from whitish pink (Fig. 3a) to whitish tan (Fig. 3b). Females are micropterous and are similar to Andesobia jelskii, but with a more yellowish colour (Fig. 6). The biology is unknown. It appears to be sympatric with Andesobia boliviana, and is known only from the Lake Titicaca region (Fig. 18).
