we wrote: "Actinote equatoria is a difficult species, it flies on both sides of the Andes with many many forms, and its taxonomy is anything but clear ; a great many were flying near Buenos Aires, Cañar, in october 2008" ;
but, says Keith Willmott, it is not Actinote equatoria, it is Actinote pellenea epiphaea ; we saw it from 900 to close to 3000 m.
Keith Willmott reminds us that A. pellenea epiphaea is very variable, particularly females.
