104. Cyanocydia salvadorana (Heppner, 2013) .

Heppner (2013b) described Cydia salvadorana from a series that included two paratype males collected by R. Lehman at El Zamorano, Honduras in late July. The wing pattern of this genus is distinctive, but the species closely resemble each other and can only be separated by details of the genitalia. Razowski (2019) transferred salvadorana to Cyanocydia , and Brown (2019) described the wing pattern as having “7–8 iridescent cyan-blue lines extending various lengths from the costa toward the hind margin on a ground color of black or dark gray”. The immature stages are unknown.
