wingspan : 47/48 mm


Pedaliodes porcia, Yanacocha.


strictly speaking we know nothing about Pedaliodes porcia, two ssp (the nominal and pallantias), without any geographic data, the gold/yellow HW line being longer and thinner on the nominal ssp


without having any other information we assume that :
- the Yanacocha specimens, the only ones we have with a long and thin gold line, are porcia porcia,
- those from the South of the country belong to an undescribed ssp, with a short and rather thin gold line,
- all the others, from East or West of the Andes, would be pallantias, as we cannot see any geographic differentiation.
