there is a new subspecies of
Agrias narcissus.
The Manaos region population has been separated from the nominate population
A. narcissus narcissus from the Obidos and Guyana regions.
The new subspecies is called:
Agrias narcissus chrysotaenia SÉRAPHIN, 2022. Gilles Séraphin took up the old form name
chrystotaenia Fassl, 1924 for this, which, however, had no nomenclatural validity as a form name according to the international rules of nomenclature.
A.narcissus chrysotaenia ssp. nov. therefore has Mr. Séraphin as author with the year of the first description 2022.
