PS: Can anyone properly identify this Parides from Tingo Maria,Peru ?. It's supposed to be P. phosphorus vavi but it doesn't look like it to me

It looks like Parides erithalion xanthias to me, at least from the upperside and without being able to see the scent scales in the hindwing anal fold.

It looks close to that but the light tear drop spot is in the middle of larger green patch, and usually in erithalion (erlaces, xanthias...)the light spot is at the apex parides.genus.free.fr/erith16.htmlI also thought of P. anchises ssp. parides.genus.free.fr/anch17.htmlUsually I spread the sent patches but didn't this time (PS it seems very unusual and beautiful, that's why I repaired it) |

A photo of the underside would be useful. It does look similar to anchises marinae from Chanchamayo, but nothing like ssp. koenigi from Tingo Maria.

I am not a huge fan of repairing wings. I have used the age old glue, egg whites. It will dry and becomes almost invisible. However, I was recently at WalMart and found clear Elmer's Glue. Like Bill said, add a little alcohol to thin it down and the stuff becomes completely invisible when dry. Attachments:

For the black areas an old friend of mine used black India Ink for touchups.
