Male

 

wingspan : 85 mm


we're clearly lost in Heliconius numata taxonomic situation ; in Holzinger we have thirty subspecies and more than one hundred forms ! thirty eight ssp in Keith Brown 1979, and "only" twenty eight in butterfliesofamerica !


and this one, found near Pablo Sexto, which is somewhere between lenaeus from Ecuador, euphone from Colombia and tarapotensis from Peru ?
