wingspan : 41 mm
we found Urbanus pronta at el Topo, near Puyo, at the new Pastaza bridge, near Pablo Sexto, Tres Marias and San Isidro.
we could be wrong for this male, which could be U. belli ? we're waiting for the genitalia study.
green Urbanus make for an extremely difficult group ; it wouldn't have been possible to identify these butterflies without the efforts and expertise of Ernst Brockmann and Bernard Hermier, and without genitalia study and DNA barcoding.
