Taguaiba fulginia explained

Taguaiba fulginia is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.[1] It is found in the southeastern Brazilian states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo at altitudes ranging from sea level to 250m (820feet).

Taxonomy

The species was previously considered a synonym of Taygetis ypthima, but a morphological study revealed its specific status and indicates closer relationship with Taygetis rectifascia and Taygetis servius.[2] This relationship was confirmed in a molecular phylogenetic study and the species were transferred to genus Taguaiba.[1]
