| sorry, no image of larva available | Winbrechlinia shapiroi:
near Cerro Kachui, Sierra Nevada da Santa Marta, Cesar,
Colombia 4000-4000m; mfwl: 24mm. Prominent off-white, convex, scalloped pm line,

Winbrechlinia grissinjaevi:
near Pueblo Bella, Sierra Nevada da Santa Marta, Cesar, Colombia 2700m; ffwl: 36mm.
Known from a single female; seems smaller than females of sinjaevi and parbrechlini. Not as
dark as shapiroi, lacks expected larger dark cell spot. Instead, fw cell outer edge is just a slightly darker striga.
The hindwing cell of grissinjaevi has a very small, diffuse back spot just inside cell's outer edge.

| Winbrechlinia sinjaevi male |
Winbrechlinia sinjaevi male
near Pueblo Bella, Sierra Nevada da Santa Marta, Cesar, Colombia 2700m; mfwl: 28-32mm.
Reddish brown male show two forms; one with strong presence of lighter scales on outer edge of greyish pm band, one form where lighter band is vestigial. The pm
line is distinctly angled inward just above the cell. The cell mark is small and black with a larger, diffuse, more prominent orangey-yellow spot just inside the
the black dot. |
Winbrechlinia sinjaevi female
| Winbrechlinia sinjaevi female | sorry, no image of the larva available |
Winbrechlinia sinjaevi female near Pueblo Bella, Sierra Nevada da Santa Marta, Cesar, Colombia
2700m; ffwl: 40mm.
evenly convex, double banded (grey-brown & greyish white) pm line is parallel to the outer margin. Wing areas show more contrast than males. Slightly darker striga
at end of forewing cell is
inwardly traced with white. Irregular double banded am line is more prominent than in males.

Two Species from Magdalena, Colombia
sorry no image of male available |
Winbrechlinia parbrechlini HT female
|
sorry no image of larva available | Winbrechlinia parbrechlini:
Cerro Kennedy, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia; 2525m.
ffwl: 40mm.
The HT female has a double banded (grey-brown & greyish white) pm line, angled inwardly just obove the cell. The forewing post median area is
broader than that of sinjaevi. The hindwing pm area is not nearly as contrasting as in sinjaevi.

| Winbrechlinia winbrechlini male |
Winbrechlinia winbrechlini:
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta: Municipio de Minco: Cerro Kennedy: San Lorenzo, Magdalena, Colombia;mfwl: 28-31mm 2525-2700m.
Male: uniform rusty brown, with small diffuse black cell spot, inwardly bordered by paler, brighter, diffuse orange spot.
Slightly darker pm line curves inward just above cell, lighter suffusion on pml's outer edge, most visible along curve to costa. Hw cell & pm line weakly defined.
Post median area of all wings slightly darker, duller brown, lacking more reddish tones of basal & median areas.
