"Brethren of the net" unite; I need help in identifying this Nymphalid... I captured it in the "Yungas" of Bolivia on May.27.1989 Have had it all these years without identification. Flashy little number and the only one I came across. I don't have any of the D'abrera S.American series and nothing up to date. So can anybody get me to at least genus? Thank you ! (Trehopr1)  |

I checked my copy of D'Abrera, and perhaps it is Perisama philinus or philimus - D'Abrera uses both spellings!
A photo of the underside would help.
Adam.

D'Abrera has many errors in that genus (among so many others). I have a copy of Attal's monograph; as Adam said, if you can post a photo of the underside, I can check it.

According Attal' The Genus Perisama, seems to be :
Perisama philinus philinus Doubleday, male, from Caranavi area (Northern Yungas) - Southern Peru & Bolivia (Plate 7 and page 67)

I have this from Tingo Maria, Peru. I've labeled it as P.philinus descimoni. But after looking at this topic and other photos online i think maybe this might be the nominate ssp. aswell?  |

According Attal, subspecies descimoni flies in Northern Peru. It's P. philinus saussurei (Guénée) who inhabits Tingo Maria. Actually, your sample matches very well with saussurei (plate 7).
