Name: Taygetis
Albinotata
Common Name:
Distribution: South American Region
Description: Taygetis is wholly tropical American,
and is one of the most striking of the family. While the species are
not many, some of them are variable, and easy to confuse.
It is not definable on present knowledge, like many current Satyrid genera,
but roughly represents large neotropical Satyrs with typical venation, appearance,
and pattern, and most often hairy eyes

Scientific
Name: Pierella Hyceta
Common Name: Hewitson
Distribution: South American Region
Description: Brown on the forewings and
orange to rust on the hindwings, this butterfly is able to
stay hiddden in many areas of the peruvian mountain areas
where it lives. The bottom is camouflaged to appear like
a leaf, so when it sleeps with wings folded, it hides from
predators. |
