	PERISAMA philinus male Peru US $ 2.95

Confined to eastern Peru and western Bolivia. This species can be quite variable with the small sub-apical spots on the hind wing verso being absent in some specimens. Similar Species When papered the underside of this species can be confused with Perisama tristrigosa, P.nyctimene and Perisama cloelia which all fly in Peru. However the uppersides of each species are quite distinctive, and once spread the different species are easily identified.
