There is an oblique blackish dot beneath the fold at one-fourth, and a small blackish spot on the dorsum slightly before it. The discal stigmata are black, and small oblique-triangular blackish spots on the costa above them. The black dots near the dorsum beneath these stigmata, the second connected with a small blackish tornal spot.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Taygete consociata” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Taygete, consociata and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
