Alychna exclamationis

Uncommon(?) at 1950 m., probably higher. Attracted to bait and spitwads.

Similar species: On male's DFW, the area between the stigma and the discal spots is black; this same area is brown in A. degener. Female exclamationis has larger FW spots than degener. Others?

Uncommon 850-1350 m., probably higher. Found inside humid forest; perhaps most active at dusk (and dawn?). Attracted to spitwads and bait.

Alychna pelta

Rare at 2000 m., probably lower.

Similar species: VHW more heavily marked than A. victa, though spots are still faint. Male pelta has an orange patch at DHW costa, lacking in victa; pelta also lacks semi-hyaline area in orange FW band; I'm not sure if this difference also applies to females.
