Very nice indeed Manfred, good to see someone else who collects Uraniids. Sloanus is my 'Holy Grail', only one in the genus I don't have.

Dave, you are right !
here in Germany I know no one collecting this group seriously.
The same is with Riodinidae ! The situation is really frustrating
as you can't swap ideas with others.
Both groups, Uraniidae and Riodinidae are difficult and it would be very helpful to communicate with other connoisseurs.

Dunc, I got them from Mr. Werner Zoeller (now his son: butterflies & more), from Andreas Müller (Salzburg, Austria) and the last two ones last November on occasion of the Frankfort fair from M. Turlin (France)

I love this group and slowly building a collection, but is there a reliable taxonomic index for Urania and Alcides?

Would A. metaurus be the same species as A. zodiaca I wonder?

It is the same.
zodiaca is a synonym of metaurus I think
