this butterfly found, the male near Guarumales and the female near Macas, is now treated as a form of Pedaliodes phrasiclea, a form quite similar to the form we found farther South, between Loja and Zamora, ant that we provisionnally named "f. arcoiris". https://www.loja-zamora.eu/en/fiche-papillon/019-Satyridae/003-Satyrinae/003-Pronophilini/037-Pedaliodes/115-phrasiclea/f.+%22arcoiris%22
it is not impossible that, in the near future, this form be given the species status ?
