Zhang, Jing, Cong, Qian, Shen, Jinhui, Song, Leina & Grishin, Nick V., 2023, Genomic analysis reveals new species and subspecies of butterflies, The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey 11 (6), pp. 1-63 : 19

Cremna dentata (Stichel, 1910) is a species distinct from Cremna radiata (Godman & Salvin, 1886)

Genomic analysis reveals that Voltinia radiata dentata Stichel, 1910 (type locality in Colombia), currently treated as a junior subjective synonym of Cremna radiata (Godman & Salvin, 1886) (type locality Costa Rica: Irazú), is genetically differentiated from it at the level characteristic of distinct species ( Fig. 18), e.g., COI barcode difference of 2.6% (17 bp) in the presence of phenotypic distinction (Lukhtanov et al. 2016): C. dentata typically has longer white rays between veins on wings. Therefore, we propose that Cremna dentata (Stichel, 1910) , stat. nov. is a species distinct from Cremna radiata (Godman & Salvin, 1886) .
