Local distribution: On Pacific slope at 1100-1500 m; Atlantic slope at 700-1200 m. Similar species: Pteronymia artena, Pteronymia simplex, Hypoleria cassotis, Greta andromica Species range: Costa Rica Abundance: Uncommon
Larval host plants: Unknown Early stages: Solitary Comments: This species needs more study to determine if it is a form of P. artena associated with wet habitats (see DeVries 1987) or a distinct species. I have commonly found it to be sympatric with P. artena and consistently different in wing shape and pattern characters at Monteverde. |
