Depending on the species the iridescence can form patches; i.e., sections of the wing that have well defined borders that separate them from non-iridescent sections (e.g., E. automedon, Fig. 1A). In contrast, other species have an iridescent sheen (e.g., E. gerhardi, Fig. 1F); i.e., a diffuse gloss that can be best seen when the butterfly is examined at an oblique angle. This genus ranges from Mexico to southern South America, and from lowland to Andean forests. Adults are crepuscular and feed on rotten fruits and sap.</p> <p>The genus Eryphanis can be identified by the combination of six unique characters from adult morphology (Fig. 3, character numbers listed in parenthesis correspond to those in Appendix 2). In both sexes, iridescence not extended to the postmedial-basal areas of both wings (except for E. bubocula female) (character 2:1, Fig. 1-2). In males, presence of a scent organ in cell Cu2 (14:1, Fig. 1). This scent organ is an oval shaped depression on the wing membrane that is densely packed with elongate scales that are pale yellow to light brown, depending on the species. An area covered by shiny scales encircles this scent organ. This shiny halo reaches vein Cu2, where the scales become very dark. It is possible that the broad, black androconial patch found near the HW tornus in E. aesacus and E. bubocula (Fig. 1) might represent an extension of these dark scales. In males, absence of dorsal hindwing hairpencil in cell 1A (15:0, Fig. 7A). Instead, all males have a sparse coating of long hairs in cells 1A and 2A, which is particularly well developed in E. reevesii. Note that the hairpencil in cell 1A is also absent in some species of Caligo, a genus that is closely related to Eryphanis (e.g., Frühstorfer 1912, Blandin 1974, Penz 2007). In males, presence of a thin, sclerotized, setae-bearing flange associated with the dorsal, basal region of valva (19:1, Fig. 4, 7D). In males, spines along dorsal edge of valva generally organized in one single row (22:1, Fig. 4, 7F). In males, distal end of phallus projected as a hollow prong beyond opening (28:0, Fig. 4, 7E). Mature larvae are recognizable by their elongated tails, which can be ca. 25% of the total body length and are proportionately longer than those of other brassolines but similar in length to the closely related Caligopsis (see Furtado and Campos-Neto 2004).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0F133123550E2305FF4FD8F5519178EB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Surinam.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Both sexes similar to E. lycomedon. Males can be distinguished from E. lycomedon by the localized dorsal night blue to purple iridescent patches on both FW and HD, and HW margin usually lacking a pale brown outline dorsally, plus the valva with a narrow tip and subterminal swelling. The narrow valva tip can be often seen in pinned specimens without preparation, thus facilitating identification. Females nearly indistinguishable from E. lycomedon, but the following trend was observed. In E. automedon females the dorsal FW iridescence sometimes forms a pale blue sheen that extends into discal cell, the dorsal HW pale brown outline is vestigial or absent. The HW iridescence is usually more extended distally within the Cu1 and Cu2 cells, and the projection at vein Cu1 is sometimes less pronounced than in E. lycomedon. Old, faded E. automedon females from locations overlapping with E. lycomedon can only be confidently distinguished from the latter by the sterigma through dissection.</p> <p>Annotated redescription. Male. FW length 55-59 mm (n=8). Dorsal FW and HW with conspicuous and localized night blue to purple iridescent patches, depending on the locality. FW iridescent patches extend from submedial to postmedial areas. HW always with an iridescent patch (variable in size, and subtle in old specimens), never a sheen. Dorsal FW submarginal line faint, diffuse, continuous. Dorsal HW marginal outline absent. HW with a projection at vein Cu1 that extends beyond anal margin. FW and HW main ventral color varying from faded brown in Brazilian and Peruvian specimens, to faded caramel color in Colombian, Bolivian, and Paraguayan specimens. Ventral HW white postmedial transverse band vestigial or absent. Ventral HW eyespot in cell Cu1 contained within cell. Uncus elongate, slender; valva with subterminal swelling; and gnathos slender, sharply pointed, with few or no spines.</p> <p>Female. FW length 59-60 mm (n=3). Wing color pattern different from male. Dorsal sky-blue iridescent patches on medial areas of FW and HW, slightly larger on HW. Dorsal FW iridescent patch expanded inside discal cell in some specimens. Dorsal FW discal cell often with a pair of faint brown stripes near the distal end. FW submarginal line faded orange, conspicuous, continuous, nearly straight. Submarginal branch of FW submarginal line starts at M1, and postmedial branch starts at wing margin or below the R stem and joins the submarginal branch in cell M2. Dorsal HW iridescence more extended distally than in E. lycomedon, and marginal outline absent or vestigial. Ventral surface of wings as in male. Posterior edge of sterigma with conspicuous oblique ribs, and sterigma projections with two blunt points.</p> <p>Distribution. Venezuela to the Guianas and Brazil (northern and eastern), and Colombia to Paraguay; ranging from sea level (e.g., Obidos, Brazil) to ca. 1,000 m (e.g., Cali, Colombia) (Casagrande 2004, Appendix 1).</p> <p>Remarks. Six dissected males from five countries (Appendix 1) show consistent genitalic morphology, but varied in their iridescence hue (more purple or more blue), and the size of the HW iridescent patch (extremely small in a male from Bolivia, and some males from Trinidad, French Guiana, and Brazil; not illustrated). Casagrande (2004) recognized seven subspecies, but here I elevate E. lycomedon C. Felder and R. Felder, 1862 to full species (see below). The subspecies of E. automedon should be reassessed by examination of type specimens (see comments below on E. automedon novicia Stichel, 1904). In females of both E. automedon and E. lycomedon the HW projection at vein Cu1 varies in size (e.g., it is short in Paraguayan specimens, Fig. 2A; it is long in Peruvian specimens, not illustrated). The life history of E. automedon has been described by Dias (1979) based on specimens from Minas Gerais, Brazil [as E. polyxena].</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0F13312355022308FF4FD854522E7CCB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Felder and R. Felder 1862)	<div><p>Eryphanis lycomedon (C. Felder and R. Felder, 1862), status revised (Fig. 1B, 2B, 4B, 5B, 6B)</p> <p>Type locality. Colombia.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Both sexes similar to E. automedon. Males can be distinguished from E. automedon by having a purple iridescent sheen on HW (glossy when specimen is tilted), and HW margin usually with a pale brown outline dorsally, plus the valva with an even width and slightly wider at tip. The widened valva tip can be often seen in pinned specimens without dissection, thus facilitating identification. Females nearly indistinguishable from E. automedon, but the following trend was observed. In females of E. lycomedon the dorsal FW iridescence forms a pale blue sheen barely extended into discal cell, the dorsal HW pale brown outline is usually well developed. The HW iridescence is usually less extended distally within the Cu1 and Cu2 cells, and the projection at vein Cu1 is usually more pronounced than in E. automedon. Old, faded females from locations overlapping with E. automedon can only be confidently distinguished from the latter by the sterigma through dissection.</p> <p>Annotated redescription. Male. FW length 55-60 mm (n=5). Dorsal FW and HW with purple iridescent sheen extended from submedial to postmedial areas of the FW. In some specimens the FW iridescence can be sufficiently strong to form an iridescent patch. Iridescence of the HW usually a sheen and not forming a discrete patch, but in some specimens HW iridescence can be sufficiently strong to approximate an iridescent patch. Dorsal FW submarginal line faint, diffuse, continuous. Dorsal HW marginal outline thin to vestigial or absent. HW with a projection at vein Cu1 that extends beyond anal margin. Ventral FW and HW faded caramel color. Ventral HW white postmedial transverse band vestigial or absent. Ventral HW eyespot in cell Cu1 contained within cell. Uncus elongate and slender, valva nearly uniform in width and slightly widened at tip, gnathos broad, sharp-pointed and with small terminal spines.</p> <p>Female. FW length 57-66 mm (n=5). Wing color pattern different from male. Dorsal FW and HW with sky-blue iridescent patches. Iridescent patches on medial areas of both wings, slightly larger on the HW. FW iridescent patch barely extends into cell Cu1 and discal cell, but is conspicuous across cell Cu2. Dorsal FW submarginal line faded orange, conspicuous, continuous, nearly straight. Submarginal branch of FW submarginal line starts at M1, and postmedial branch starts at wing margin or below the R stem, and joins the submarginal branch in cell M2. Dorsal HW iridescence less extended distally than in E. automedon. Dorsal HW marginal outline vestigial to moderately developed, depending on the locality. Ventral surface of wings as in male. Posterior edge of sterigma with delicate transverse ribs, sterigma projection with two blunt points.</p> <p>Distribution. Guatemala to Colombia (DeVries 1987), expanded here to Ecuador, Bolivia and Southern Brazil (Santa Catarina), with an estimated altitudinal range of 0-1,200 m (DeVries 1987 and Appendix 1). Contrasting the closely related E. automedon, the range of E. lycomedon includes Central America and western South America, but is extended eastward into southern Brazil. Although I haven’t seen specimens from Paraguay, it would not be surprising if this species occurred in that country.</p> <p>Species status. Two issues need to be considered regarding this species: name and status. The taxon demonstrated here to be distinct from E. automedon corresponds to what has been previously known as E. polyxena Meerburgh, 1780, or E. polyxena lycomedon (see DeVries 1987). Nonetheless, the name ‘ polyxena’ is preoccupied and thus invalid (Cowan 1974, Casagrande 2004). The type locality for E. polyxena is ‘America’, but given that Meerburgh was a Dutchmen the material he studied probably came from Surinam, which is also the type locality of E. automedon. Therefore, Casagrande (2004) correctly considered E. polyxena a synonym of E. automedon. Note that the replacement name E. automedaena (Hübner, 1819) was proposed for E. automedon by Hübner (1819:51) to address an issue of gender agreement with his genus Moera Hübner (junior synonym of Amathusia Fabricius, see Hemming 1967), and this name was also synonymized by Casagrande (2004).</p> <p>Examination of a series of specimens of E. lycomedon and E. automedon verified that these two taxa show clear and consistent differences both in wing color and genitalic morphology (Fig. 1-2, 4-6). Males of E. lycomedon differ from E. automedon by the wing iridescence forming a diffuse sheen on the HW (compare Fig. 1A and B), and the valva being sub-terminally narrow and broadening at the very tip (compare Fig. 4A and B), which can be seen in pinned specimens without dissection. Females are distinguished from E. automedon by the faintness or absence of the iridescence inside the FW discal cell, the smaller iridescent patch on the HW plus the usually well developed dorsal HW pale brown outline (compare Fig. 2A and B), and the posterior edge of sterigma with delicate transverse ribs (compare Fig. 6A and B). Furthermore, these species have overlapping geographical distribution (males in Fig. 1A and B were both collected in Cali, Colombia; see also Appendix 1). In combination, color pattern, genitalia, and sympatry provide strong evidence that E. lycomedon and E. automedon constitute separate species. Finally, the E. lycomedon specimens studied here (Fig. 1B, Appendix 1) match the type locality and original description in Felder and Felder (1862), and also the description in Frühstorfer (1912).</p> <p>Remarks. Six dissected males from five countries (Appendix 1) show consistent genitalic morphology. In a few of these specimens the HW iridescence is strong, approximating the pattern in some of the less iridescent E. automedon males (see above). Examination of type specimens will be necessary to verify if there are any valid, described subspecies that could be assigned to E. lycomedon. For example, the descriptions of E. automedon novicia (type locality Ecuador, Los Rios) in Stichel (1909) and Frühstorfer (1912) seem to match the general wing color of E. lycomedon. In females of both E. lycomedon and E. automedon the HW projection at vein Cu1 varies in size (e.g., it is short in Costa Rican specimens, see DeVries 1987; it is long in Colombian specimens, Fig. 2B). A brief life history account is given by DeVries (1987) for Costa Rican E. lycomedon.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0F1331235503230FFF4FDB94516E790B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mexico.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Males similar to E. bubocula, but distinguished from this species by the smaller size, the reduced dorsal iridescent patch of the FW, and by the HW iridescent patch that extends toward the medial area around the anterior edge of the black androconial patch. Males have square-shaped gnathos, narrower valva in ventral view, and constricted tegumen in dorsal view. Females easily distinguished from E. bubocula by their smaller size, well defined dorsal purple iridescent patches on FW and HD, and sterigma with a narrower posterior ridge and smaller midline keel.</p> <p>Annotated redescription. Male. FW length 47-50 mm (n=4). Dorsal FW and HW with conspicuous and localized mid-night blue to purple iridescent patches. Iridescent patch extends from medial to postmedial areas of the FW, occupying the distal one-third of the FW discal cell. HW iridescent patch extends around the anterior edge of the black androconial patch toward the medial area, and also along the wing margin. Dorsal FW submarginal line usually faint (but can be well defined in some specimens), diffuse, continuous. HW edge rounded with a vestigial marginal outline dorsally. Dorsal HW with a large broad patch of black androconial scales above tornus. Androconial patch generally occupying a smaller space inside cell M2 than E. bubocula. Ventral FW and HW main color light brown. Ventral HW with a welldeveloped white postmedial transverse band. HW ventral eyespot in cell Cu1 large, expanding to cell Cu2. Uncus elongate and slender, valva narrow, gnathos square-shaped.</p> <p>Female. FW length 53-58 mm (n=5). Dorsal FW and HW with conspicuous and localized purple iridescent patches extended across discal cell of the FW and between submedial and medial areas of the HW.

HW edge rounded and slightly undulated. Ventral FW and HW as in male. Sterigma with a narrow posterior ridge and narrow projections.</p> <p>Distribution. Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua (Frühstorfer 1912), extended here to El Salvador (Appendix 1). Based on collection labels, this species seem to occur from 500- 1,800 m (Appendix 1).</p> <p>Remarks. In male specimens from Nicaragua and El Salvador the dorsal FW submarginal line is stronger than in Mexican specimens, but can still be considered ‘faded’ in comparison with males in the zolzivora-group where this band is well defined and vividly colored. I have not seen specimens from either Honduras or Nicaragua.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0F1331235504230EFF4FDED452F57F6B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ventral FW and HW as in male. Sterigma with a broad posterior ridge and narrow projections.</p> <p>Distribution. Costa Rica to Colombia and the Amazon basin (Godman and Salvin 1879, Frühstorfer 1912, Appendix 1). In Costa Rica it is reported from 500 to 1,800 m on both slopes (Cubero 1985, DeVries 1987).</p> <p>Species status. Eryphanis bubocula differs from E. aesacus in wing pattern and genitalia. Godman and Salvin (1879) considered these taxa separate species, and pointed to diagnostic differences in wing length and color for both sexes. Their characters were confirmed here, and additional diagnostic characters are also provided for both taxa (see diagnoses). It is worth noting that E. bubocula females resemble Caligo illioneus oberon Butler, 1870 (see DeVries 1987 for illustrations) while those of E. aesacus assume a more ordinary Eryphanis female pattern (compare Fig. 2D and E). In concert, differences in both wing characters and genitalia support the reinstatement of species status of E. bubocula.</p> <p>Remarks. It would be interesting to compare specimens from higher elevations with those from the Amazon Basin (possibly from the subspecies juruana Frühstorfer, 1912), which were unavailable to me for examination. The life history of E. bubocula was described and illustrated by Cubero (1985) from Costa Rica, including observations on adult behavior.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0F1331235505230DFF4FD83451E47C6B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Bolivia.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Males and females reddish-brown with conspicuous FW orange submarginal line. Distinguished from E. opimus and E. greeneyi by the dorsal FW orange submarginal line forming a thin, yet conspicuous distal orange crescent mark that is unique to this species. Here the postmedial branch of this line extends anteriorly to the wing margin, and the HW projection at Cu1 is vestigial or small, not extending beyond the anal margin.</p> <p>Annotated redescription. Male. FW length 57-60 mm (n=3). Dorsal FW and HW with reddish-brown background and very faint pinkish iridescent sheen from submedial to postmedial areas of the FW, starting approximately at midlength of the discal cell, but barely visible on the HW. Dorsal FW with a well-defined orange submarginal line interrupted by small gaps below M3, and forming a V-shaped mark with the arms directed distally in cell M3. Submarginal branch of FW submarginal line starts in cell M2, and postmedial branch starts at wing margin, being clearly visible below the R veins. Wing apex with a thin, orange crescent mark. Dorsal FW and HW with well-developed orange marginal outline. HW with a small projection at vein Cu1 that does not extend beyond anal margin. Ventral FW and HW main color brown. Ventral HW white postmedial transverse band well developed, continuous. Ventral HW with brown wavy lines across discal cell. Ventral HW eyespot in cell Sc+Rs not outlined by a pale halo. Ventral HW eyespot in cell Cu1 very large, expanding to cell Cu2. Inner dark circle larger than in E. opimus and E. greeneyi. Uncus humped, valva with subterminal swelling.</p> <p>Female. FW length 66 mm (n=1). Dorsal FW and HW with reddish- brown background that is not as dense as in male, producing a semi-transparent effect. Both wings with pinkish iridescent sheen in the medial area, faint overall, but stronger in the HW. Dorsal FW with a well defined, thick orange submarginal line, barely interrupted at the wing veins below M3, and forming a V-shaped mark with the arms directed distally in cell M3. Submarginal branch of FW submarginal line starts in cell M2. Postmedial branch of submarginal line starts at wing margin, clearly visible in the cell below the R stem. Wing apex with a thin, orange crescent mark, as in male. HW projection at Cu1 can be less distinct than in male, and very small in some specimens. Ventral surface of wings as in male. Sterigma projection with an elongated arm, and multiple points anteriorly.</p> <p>Distribution. Bolivia, perhaps reaching southern Peru (Frühstorfer 1912, Appendix 1).

Colombia.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Males and females reddish-brown with conspicuous FW orange submarginal line. Examined males are distinguished from E. zolzivora and E. greeneyi by the thinner dorsal FW orange submarginal line, and the postmedial branch of this line that does not extend to the wing margin. The HW projection at Cu1 is intermediate in size: longer than E. zolzivora, but smaller than E. greeneyi. Thin lines always present ventrally in HW discal cell.</p> <p>Annotated redescription. Male. FW length 62 mm (n=1). Dorsal FW and HW with reddish-brown background and a faint pinkish iridescent sheen from submedial to postmedial areas of the FW, starting approximately at midlength of discal cell, and barely visible on HW. Dorsal FW with a well-defined, thin orange submarginal line, interrupted by small gaps below M3, and forming a V-shaped mark with the arms directed distally in cell M3. Submarginal branch of FW submarginal line starts in cell M2. Postmedial branch of submarginal line starts at cell M1. Dorsal FW and HW marginal outline well developed. HW projection at Cu1 present, extending beyond anal margin, but not as long or well defined as in E. greeneyi. Ventral FW and HW main color light brown. Ventral HW white postmedial transverse band well developed, continuous. Ventral HW with brown wavy lines across discal cell. Ventral HW eyespot in cell Sc+Rs outlined by a pale halo. Ventral HW eyespot in cell Cu1 large (smaller than E. zolzivora but larger than E. greeneyi) expanding to cell Cu2.

Colombia (see comments on E. zolzivora in Frühstorfer 1912, Appendix 1), occurring in Cali at an elevation of ca. 1,000 m.</p> <p>Species status. Morphological differences between the Colombian E. opimus and the Bolivian E. zolzivora warrant species status. Male E. opimus differ from E. zolzivora in wing color and shape (compare Fig. 1G and I, see diagnoses). Furthermore, there are significant differences in male genitalia. The male valva is narrow in E. opimus, but in E. zolzivora it bears a large and distinctive subterminal swelling (compare Fig. 4G and I). This evidence supports the revised status for E. opimus as a separate species from E. zolzivora.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0F13312355072313FF4FDD14522679CB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ecuador, and perhaps northern Peru (see comments on E. zolzivora in Frühstorfer 1912), at an elevation ranging between 1,650 and 2,163 m (Appendix 1). Carlos Peña provided me with photographs of two males from Peru: a specimen from Amazonas department (Valle de Huamanpata, Lejia, 2,150 m) closely matches the description of E. greeneyi, but a specimen from Cuzco department (Llactahuaman, Quebrada Bagre, 1,700 m) does not match the phenotypes of either E. greeneyi or E. zolzivora. Therefore, it would be of interest to examine a series of specimens from Peru.</p> <p>Remarks. Frühstorfer’s (1912) account of E. zolzivora included the nominate subspecies plus E. zolzivora opimus, and he noted that Otto Staudinger recognized some differences between these and ‘an allied race from Ecuador and Peru’. The description above provides characters that validate Staudinger’s centuryold suggestion that the Ecuadorian taxon is distinct from its Bolivian and Colombian relatives. This species has been reared in Ecuador by H.F. Greeney on Chusquea scandens Kunth. (Poaceae), and a forthcoming larval description is in preparation.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0F13312355182311FF4FDE9450177C6B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
