Xanthia icteritia (Hufnagel, 1766)
Cirrhia icteritia (Hufnagel, 1766)
This is the type species of the genus Cirrhia and this genus is
recognized as a separate genus by several recent authors. This is not
adopted here: The type species of Xanthia, Xanthia togata, and the type
species of Cirrhia, Xanthia icteritia are very similar at the imaginal
stage, showing identical wing patterns, except that icteritia is the
lighter version of togata. In addition, the larval stages of both
species are identical and I know of no character to separate them
properly. Thus, the two species are undoubtedly congeneric and are
likely even sister species. Consequently, Cirrhia is a junior synonym of
Xanthia.
