Abstract

A new subspecies of Ithomiini (Nymphalidae: Danainae), Aeria olena tiumassp. nov., is described for the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil. This subspecies is scarce in entomological collections and is known from only seven localities in the Brazilian states of Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas. Here we bring some conservation perspectives by evaluating its geographical range (EOO-AOO) revealing that this butterfly could be placed in the category ‘Vulnerable’ (VU) and deserves attention.
