I am hoping for some more help/instruction?
The two attached specimens are of three total that I have. The smaller top one, I believe to be Elbella merops; I also have another specimen from Peru, I believe to be a male Phocides metrodorus metrodorus (not pictured). The larger specimen I cannot place, and maybe it is because it is a female? The upper forewing characteristics (angled submedian blue band) are more like the Elbella, but the hindwing stripes appear to radiate like the Phocides. I am probably betraying my lack of knowledge, but would appreciate some help.
