wingspan :
this Eurybia has been pictured by Frank Dietze near Puyo, it looks like Eurybia unxia, a species known only from Nicaragua to Panama.
we didn't manage to agree on its identity ; the wisest of us thinks one cannot bet on the presence of unxia near Puyo, thus it has to be a female franciscana quite atypical ; for the other one it has to be a female unxia as the resemblance is uncanny :
- large FW eyespot shaped like stirrups, squarish in franciscana,
- small marginal eyespots on both wings elongated, rounded in franciscana,
- HW purple hue covering only the last three eyespots and barely reaching the cell, when in franciscana the hue covers four eyespots and the distal half of the cell.
