Here are add datas.
PERU, SATIPO, RIO VENADO VILLAGE, 3 february
elevation is 1200m
Wingspan : 104mm
Is it a common species or not because I've never seen in fair or on seller website ? (just to know cause I'm not a seller, just a collector).
Thank you

For all other Peruvian Eacles species I have multiple digital images on display, for callopteris I only have an image of a single male, courtesy of Bernhard Wenczel. The only image of a female callopteris that I have seen is in Lemaire's book.
I do not know if it is rare or not in nature, but I have not seen many pictures. Thanks for data.
Here is info I have on callopteris (wingspan: males: 83-105mm; females: 110mm) flies in
Peru: Huanuco and Puno, and probably Pasco, Junin, Cusco and Madre de Dios;
Ecuador: Morona-Santiago, Sucumbios (LTR), Napo (LTR), Zamora Chinchipe (LTR), and maybe Pastaza; and
Bolivia: La Paz; on the eastern slopes of the Andes at moderate elevations.
Your data now confirms presence in Junin. I think it is not common in Ecuador or Horst Kach would have sent me images as he collects and rears in that country extensively.
