Diaethria clymena

Common up to 1200 m., probably somewhat higher. Usually found puddling. (Lack of records is due to my lack of dedication to photographing them; to be rectified!)

Similar species: Black markings on V much heavier than other Diaethria.

Diaethria eluina

Fairly common 1000-1100 m., probably lower. Puddles, attracted to bait. I'm not sure which subspecies occur(s) in Cusco.

Similar species: V identical(?) to D. neglecta neglecta but dark blue sheen in black areas on D is distinctive.
