A new subspecies of Telchinia Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Heliconiinae) from West Africa

Abstract

A morphologically distinct subspecies of Telchinia pseudepaea from the Guinea Highlands, Liberian subregion is described. Although male genitalia show no differences among the examined populations, both external morphology and geographic distribution support the recognition of the Liberian subregion population as a new subspecies.
