Abstract
Protoneura sulfurata n. sp., from the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, differs from P. aurantiaca in its bright sulfur-yellow color of the male and in several minor structural details. The two species belong to a series (including P. amatoria and cupida) that originated in South America and has reached Mexico. A second group of species (P. tenuis, calverti, ailsa, viridis, capillaris, and probably cara) originated in South America, occupied the Antilles, and has reached northern Central America, Mexico, and the United States. A third group (which includes the three somewhat aberrant species P. peramans, corculum, and sanguinipes) probably originated in South America and has reached Central America and the Greater Antilles. The most derived species are found at the extreme geographic limits of each group.
