Platycoelia sp., Bellavista, Ecuador Some interesting bycatch on the moth cloth. This is a &quot;Shining Leaf Chafer&quot;. Within this genus, main candidates for Ecuador are:<br />
- Platycoelia galerana<br />
- Platycoelia humeralis<br />
<br />
...there could be more in the genus that were not reported. I&#039;m unable to tell the two species apart, they look identical to me. Bellavista Cloud Forest,Ecuador,Ecuador 2021,Geotagged,South America,Spring,World Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
