Hi all,
This day flying moth looks to be a Chetone (Pericopis) species. It was caught in North Eastern Argentina on the boarder with Brazil (Misiones Province) in January 2015.
The moth behaves exactly as a heliconid when flying, and I assume it is part of a Mullerian mimicry ring with the blue form of H. doris.
Can anyone give a full identity of this species?
