As far as I know Copaxa multifenestrata in Peru is only known from the western side of the Andes. The same is true for ts presence in Ecuador and Colombia, just on western side of Andes. The very similar Copaxa satellita is reported in eastern Peru (eastern Colombia and eastern Ecuador too and also into Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina), and I am pretty sure that is what you depict.
