Venezuela Dilophonotini:
Aellopos, Eupyrrhoglossum, Nyceryx, Perigonia, Stolidoptera

Eupyrrhoglossum Eupyrrhoglossum corvus Similar to Perigonia lusca lusca form restituta, but dark grey thorax with dark brown edges and broad median stripe. Lacks sagra's fw semitransparent submarginal spot and hw yellow fringe. Eupyrrhoglossum sagra Note white/pale spot/crescent in middle of forewing submarginal area. Note bright yellow hindwing fringe. Eupyrrhog. venustum

Nyceryx Nyceryx maxwelli: Several dark patches against lavender-grey ground colour. Similar to Nyceryx continua cratera but apex of hindwing upperside brown and tornal area not yellow. Hindwing upperside with yellow basal area not extending beyond 1A, and apex brownish-orange (not dark brown). Nyceryx coffaeae Almost uniform dark brown ground colour. Outer margin not deeply hollowed out below apex, instead o.m. divided into two roughly equal, almost straight (slightly concave) edges with slight bulge at their juncture. Large, slightly darker trapezoid with base along inner margin, extending to bottom of cell. Nyceryx hyposticta Large species. Fw: Semitransparent spots in distal half. Arc from above cell to anal angle is recurved at cell. Double, convex am lines: dark interior in lower half. Hw: pink, three transverse black bands. Nyceryx continua cratera: Similar to Nyceryx maxwelli but apex of hindwing upperside is brownish-orange and tornal area is yellow. Nyceryx ericea Prominent diffuse, dark arc, upwardly convex, from near midpoint of costa to anal angle. Thin, dark, scalloped arc from apex to anal angle. Semitransparent spots in the distal half of the forewing. Nyceryx tacita Prominent small white triangular patch in upper half of subterminal area. Strong dark green suffusions over dark brown in costal regions. Large dark triangular patch with base from body to midpoint along inner margin with right angle to costa. Significant pale lines define other dark patches. Nyceryx riscus Diffuse, very dark, somewhat angular arc from apex to anal angle. Fine but distinct lines over reddish brown ground colour. Lacks significant addition markings on forewing. Nyceryx stuarti Two black, subparallel, concave lines determnie a smooth arc from apex to anal angle with marginal area and space between two black lines filled with light grey scaling. Small light grey patch along inner margin. Fine lines over reddish brown ground colour.

Perigonia Perigonia ilus Lacks solid, dark apical crescent to mid bulge, instead a diffuse, dark arc with lighter internal scaling. Perigonia lusca : Fw: Dark, slightly irregular, inwardly concave, thick line runs from apex to anal angle. Prominent, straight, dark aml outwardly shaded in dark brown more widely along inner angle, tapers toward costa. Outer margin, oblique, almost straight. Small black dot at base of costa midpoint, slightly larger black, short black streak in cell. Hw yellow band very variable. Perigonia pallida Similar to Perigonia stulta but generally paler, forewings narrower. Hindwing upperside very similar to Perigonia stulta but brown border narrower and basal patch deeper yellow-orange tint. Both species with solid, dark crescent apex to midwing bulge; pallida with less pointed apex. Perigonia pittieri Perigonia pittieri: very similar to Perigonia stulta, but pittieri's forewing outer margin is more evenly curved (not crenulated as in [some] Perigonia stulta); apex is obtuse instead of acute. Fw pattern less contrasting, more uniform than in stulta, antemedian band straight, or only slightly curved. Perigonia stulta: Crenulations of forewing outer margin are variable in degree of development, but greatly produced near midpoint. Forewing upperside lacks distinct grey-brown or pale brown lunate patch on the outer margin. Forewing underside submarginal line distinct at least from the apex to M2, bordered with grey distally.

Stolidoptera The forewing apex is very produced, almost bulbous and is more toward mustard yellow compared to darker greenish-brown of rest of wing. Tiny black cell spot. Lines irregular, slightly diffuse but distinct. Fw outer margin unique in both male and female. Stolidoptera tachasara
