For this one from Saut Maripa, I sent the photos to a Riodinidae specialist in Cayenne, since I can't get it from my books of websites. I'm waiting the answer.  |

Here is the ID made by Jean-Yves Gallard, Riodinids specialist in Cayenne (French Guyane) : Au sujet de l'identification de ce Mesosemiini, il s'agit de Leucochimona h. hyphea (Cramer, 1776). Une confusion persiste entre les taxons L. hyphea et L. matisca, espèce proche, par la désignation d'un lectotype (f. prosoecca Seitz) pour le taxon hyphea de Cramer. Ce lectotype est un L. matisca ( Hewitson, 1860) du Guyana ! Dans sa description de L. matisca, Hewitson apporte cette précision : " closely allied to P. hyphea of Cramer, but without the linear black band which crossed both the wings of that species". See : www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/ih/leucochimona0042_i.htm |
