band indented at Cu lb in type and most specimens - only three specimens lack 

 this modification of the distal yellow band: the type and male paralectotype of 

 immarginata Rothschild and a further male from Paraguay. A single male from 

 Minas State, Brazil, has an incomplete distal yellow band on the forewing. Both 

 male and female genitalia appear to be indistinguishable from those olflavicincta. 



As stated under flavicincta, I have chosen to retain a specific distinction between 

 the latter and dolens, at least until more specimens, especially bred series, are 

 available. 



The type of ab. flava Rothschild (1935 : 242) has a deeper yellow coloration than 

 in most specimens of this species. The infrasubspecific form indefecta Jorgensen 

 (1932 : 52) appears from the description to resemble specimens of zonana Schaus 

 in the colour-pattern of the wings, but dolens in the coloration of the tegulae. 



Known from Parana, Sao Paulo and Sta Catarina (south-eastern states of Brazil), 

 from adjacent Paraguay and from Bolivia and Venezuela.
