H. himera x H. erato etylus x H. erato favorinus?
- Patria unknown (South America) S. Ecuador / N. Peru ? 1/1997
- VERSO surface – traces of yellow bar in HW
See for example himera x lativitta in the Database of natural hybrids (n° 157 W. Neukirchen)
I don’t know of any himera-etylus natural hybrid, whereas several have been obtained in laboratory crosses.
Considering the traces of yellow bar on HW underside, this means at least three subspecies involved: himera for the HW red broadening, etylus or lativitta for the FW band and rays, and favorinus for the yellow bar. So in my opinion it should be a lab coss or a farmed specimen.
