Allograpta piurana is a species of hoverfly.[1][2]

Description

This species was described by Shannon (1927) based on a female specimen collected in the Department Piura in Peru.[3] It is part of the Allograpta obliqua species group.[4]

Range

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

Habitat

Inland valleys to highland ecosystems.[5]

Biology

Barahona-Segovia et al (2021)[5] 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

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.[3]

Taxonomy

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.[3]
