Male

 

wingspan : 45 mm


 we saw Nahida coenoides trochois between San Isidro, just North of Macas, and Méndez.


but near Macas Nahida coenoides trochois, Nahida coenoides coenoides, and an undescribed form fly together.


and last, it should be noted that, if the trochois of SE Sangay NP look zxactly like the type - which comes from who-knows-where - illustrated on butterfliesofamerica, those from farther South (Zamora) are markedly different (see individual variation page )
