Allograpta piurana is a species.^[1]

Description[edit]

This species was described by Shannon (1927) based on a female specimen collected in the Department Piura in Peru.^[2] It is part of the Allograpta obliqua species group.^[3]

Range[edit]

This species has been recorded in Chile and Peru.^[1]

Habitat[edit]

Inland valleys to highland ecosystems.^[4]

Biology[edit]

Barahona-Segovia et al (2021)^[4] lists the following, mainly exotic, plants visited by this species: E. pectinatus; Myoporum sp.; Rosa sp.; T. officinale; Phoenix dactylifera L.; and Veronica persica Poir.

Etymology[edit]

Shannon (1927) did not explicitly state the etymology of the specific epithet, but it seems to be derived from the Department where the type specimen was collected, Piura.^[2]

Taxonomy[edit]

Shannon (1927) distinguished A. piurana from A. hortensis Philippi by a yellow spot on the metapleura (=katatergum + anatergum), dark apical margin of the scutellum, oblique pair of bands on the second tergite, and yellow markings of remaining tergites more parallel to each other.^[2]
