Hi,  Another tiny couple I met in the same rainforest area (Paraty-Brazil)on the 30th of January 2010. Anyone has an idea what they could be? Thank you! Myriam

I don't remember who left after the mating, the male or the female, this is the one who was left behind..

nice coloured wings. I had to think about Calliopum like Lauxaniids, but I guess it is completely different. Are the Neotropic lauxaniids well studied BTW?

This is a species of Griphoneura - very speciose in the Neotropics. To answer Ruud's question, Vera Silva and I are chipping away at the Neotropical lauxaniids - only a fraction of the Neotropical lauxaniids are described. |
