Pierella hyalinus, the glassy pierella or the hyalinus pierella,[2] is a species of butterfly in the brush-footed butterfly family Nymphalidae. It was first described by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1790.[3]
Description[edit]
Pierella hyalinus is visually similar to the related Pierella lena.[3] Early researchers applied the moniker Pierella hyalinus to the insects found in the Amazon and Trinidad.[3] M.P. Clifton was of the opinion that there existed a species complex between P. hyalinus and P. lena.[3] P. hyalinus is differentiated from P. lena by the M3 terminal branch of the dorsal hindwing being prolonged, forming a sickle projection on the outer margin, and the marginal region with bluish scales.[4]
Subspecies[edit]
There are four known subspecies of Pierella hyalinus:[5]
- Pierella hyalinus hyalinus (Gmelin, [1790]) (Suriname, Trinidad)[6]
- Pierella hyalinus extincta Weymer, 1910 (Brazil)[6]
- Pierella hyalinus schmidti Constantino, 1995 (Amazon Trapeze of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru)[7]
- Pierella hyalinus velezi Constantino, 1995 (Guainía, Colombia)[7]
