submontana ( Agrotis ), 1961: 73. [ Noctuinae . Noctuini ] ( Fig. 278 )

Current status. Feltia submontana [ San Blas 2014]

Type status (description). Holotype and paratypes in Köhler’s collection, additional paratypes in Instituto Lillo.

Type locality and collectors. [ Argentina]— Tucumán: San Pedro de Colalao, xii.1954, 22.iv.1961 (Köhler). Salta: Aguaray, 20.v.1959 (R. Maldonado Bruzzone) .

Type specimens. IFML: Allotype ♀. Tucumán, S. Pedro de Colalao , xii.54. TLEP283.

Figures. Köhler, 1967: fig. 48 allotype (♀).

Remarks. Köhler (1961) mentioned that unfortunately he only had females of this species, but on species description he wrote symbol of both sexes, as if he were describing both. Allotype specimen same as figure 48 ( Köhler 1967). Although the material found has an allotype label, we believe it is the holotype. As mentioned for Poliodestra albolimbata and other species, when Köhler based the description on female specimens he usually labeled the “main one” as allotype. In this case he designated a female holotype in the description, but we assume that he never changed the allotype label of the specimen he had. Furthermore, in the IFML there is a male labeled as holotype, with locality information “Argentina , Salta, Aguaray, 23.v.1954. Genitalia slide #1000. TLEP282” probabily a posterior designation of one of the paratypes in the “Instituto Lillo”, therefore, not the holotype. Redescription, more information of the types and photos of the female holotype in Dias et al. (2018).
