Voltinia (butterfly)

Voltinia is a genus of metalmark butterflies (family Riodinidae). The genus was erected by Hans Ferdinand Emil Julius Stichel in 1910. Even including Eucorna, which some authors consider a distinct genus, it contains only a few species:

  • †Voltinia dramba Hall, Robbins & Harvey 2004 (fossil)
  • Voltinia radiata (Godman & Salvin, [1886])
  • Voltinia sanarita (Schaus, 1902)
  • Voltinia theata Stichel, 1910
