Getta niveifascia
James S. Miller and Andrew V. Z. Brower
Introduction
A widespread Amazonian species. Individuals of Getta niveifasciata are likely to be misidentified as "Getta clite" in collections, but the holotype of the latter belongs in the genus Erbessa (Dioptini). Miller (2009) suggests that this species may in fact represent a complex of species that replace one another geographically.
