Prenda

Prenda is a monotypic butterfly genus of subfamily Satyrinae in the family Nymphalidae. Its one species Prenda clarissa is found in the Neotropical realm. The generic name Prenda 'designates a young woman from Rio Grande do Sul, one of the States from where type specimens were obtained. Prenda is therefore used here in a figurative sense in honor of this well-regarded folklore figure.' The specific name 'refers to Clarissa, a main character and also the title of the first novel of Érico Veríssimo'.
