Ovipositor sheaths length/metatibia length: 0.7 or 0.8. Molecular data. Sequences in BOLD: 59, barcode compliant sequences: 50. Biology/ecology. Gregarious (Fig. 306). Hosts: Hesperiidae, Astraptes alardus, Astraptes brevicauda, Astraptes talus, Astraptes tucuti, Narcosius samson, Urbanus belli, Urbanus dorantes, Urbanus doryssus. Distribution. Costa Rica, ACG.
