Dircenna adina

Fairly common 1000-2200 m. Visits Eupatorieae flowers; occasionally attracted to bait. I'm not sure which subspecies occur(s) in Cusco.

Similar species: I'm not confident identifying these three Dircenna species from each other, but adina is possibly the only one found regularly above 1000 m. There are probably key differences in the markings on the abdomen, but I don't understand them.
