these butterflies come from Durango (rio Bogota), and look exactly like the Vertica subrufescens illustrated on butterfliesofamerica, and that are said to fly only from Mexico to Costa Rica..
but Bernard Hermier tells us that :
1 - there is no such thing as a description of a species called Vertica subrufescens,
2 - it is possible that the - sympatric - subspecies of Vertica verticalis, grandipuncta, coatepeca and verticalis, would be bona fide species.
