wingspan : male 42/45, female 46 mm
Dismorphia theucharila pallida, los Cedros, Chontal, Puerto Quito, Pedro Vicente Maldonado, identified by Keith R. Willmott.
one cannot tell the male of this subspecies from the male of D. th. fortunata which flies in Central America.
moreover, between these two areas flies a completely different subspecies Dismorphia theucharila avonia, and we never saw any intermedite form.
would it be possible that two or more different species coexist ?
