Amphidecta
Andrew V. Z. Brower- Amphidecta calliomma
- Amphidecta pignerator
- Amphidecta reynoldsi
Introduction
Amphidecta has been a taxonomic enigma. Miller (1968) placed the genus in Pronophilina, but Lamas (2004) removed it, placing it as incertae sedis at the end of Satyrinae. Freitas (2004) described the larva of A. reynoldsi, and suggested that it is similar to larvae of the pronophiline Eteona.
