Netoche histrio (C. Felder & Felder, 1874)

Fig. 1 D

Remarks.

Netoche histrio lacks sexual dimorphism and exhibits a tiger-pattern imitation colouring resembling several species of tiger patterned butterflies in the genera Heliconius and Eresia , some tiger patterned Ithomiini ( Nymphalidae ), and some Riodinidae , such as Stalachtis calliope , all occurring in the Amazon. Polychromatism on the hindwings led to the description of several subspecies, but currently only three subspecies are recognized based on dissimilar geographical and altitudinal ranges (Lamas and Grados 1997; Lamas, 2017).

Material examined.

1 male, Brazil, Amazonas.
