Male

 

wingspan : 33 mm


Potamanaxas tusca, Durango, las Juntas.


two points :


1 - Potamanaxas tusca is not a ssp of Potamanaxas latrea, because :
     . both species fly together at least from las Juntas to Calderón, and
     . their wingshape and wing pattern are completely different


2 - there would be two phenotypes ?  because :
     . our specimen from Durango is markedly different from those from las Juntas, and,
     . it looks pretty much like a specimen on butterfliesofamerica that was collected in Santo Domingo de los Colorados (same elevation as Durango).


we need to get more specimens before speculating.
