Lasiophila orbifera

Common 1450-2800 m.; most common above 2000 m. By far the most common Lasiophila in Cusco. Puddles, and attracted to bait. I don't know which subspecies occur(s) in Cusco.

Similar species: Most similar to L. luna but note dark patch VHW narrows at costa, and black submarginal spots DHW are not surrounded by dark veins, among other differences..
