Butterflies of Cusco

Cyclosemia lathaea

Fairly common 1050-2100 m. Attracted to bait and spitwads.

Similar species: C. leppa (I have no Cusco records) is very similar but only has brown at VHW apex, not along entire margin.

Uncommon(?) up to 550 m. Attracted to bait.

Similar species: Very similar to C. pedro (I have no Cusco records); I'm not confident distinguishing the two species.
