Due to the complexity of this group, although it looks like aguiari I cannot guarantee that it actually is that species.

Hello, I won't to open new thread but can you please help me identify 2 more protesilaus species. Really this is hard group and I appreciate your help. This one is from: Tingo María, Rupa Rupa, Peru. Is it aguiari male? oi61.tinypic.com/netgjr.jpgThis second is from: Óbidos, Pará, Brazil. Is it molops hetaerius male? oi61.tinypic.com/o60bkh.jpgoi59.tinypic.com/2hzscoi.jpgIf you know and can help me, I would be pleased. Thank you. |

I think both are probably molops. There is no yellow tinge in the HW submarginal area, which is typical for aguiari.

I think that the second one, from Óbidos, is E. glaucolaus leucas - note the first two bands of the forewing do not reach the lower margin (they do in molops), and the less pointed scalloping to the hindwing edges.
The first one is probably E. molops hetaerius but could possibly be E. protesilaus protesilaus. E. aguiari does not occur in the Tingo Maria area.
Adam.
