Male

 

wingspan : 44/53 mm


we found this small male Dismorphia theucharilla near Puyo ; it is a form that we do not know. later we found a few males near Palora.


the problem is that, in this very place, this ssp or form flies together with D. th. leuconoe, D. th. erithroe and D. th. yolanda ; which casts a serious doubt about the validity of these Dismorphia theucharila ssp.


and also Shirley Sekarajasingham took a picture of a very similar specimen at Kawapi lodge, on the amazonian part of rio Pastaza.
