Male

 

wingspan : 75 mm


there are four Baeotus species, all pretty much alike, and they fly at low elevations in the Oriente and in the Amazon basin.


this specimen is probably a male of Baeotus deucalion ? it was collected by the Shankaime river, 900 m.


so we would have three different Baeotus sp flying at rio Shankaime : B. baeotus, B. amazonicus and B. deucalion ?


in this particular species the large bands of the male are not blue, but between buff and orange, like those of the other species females
