      It could be Deois sp., Maxantonia sp., Notozulia sp., or Zulia sp...Or, something entirely different! A lot of then have a similar pattern, but I can't find one that has the yellow body and legs. Posted 6 years ago

        Thanks! I checked reference photos for these 4 genuses, and I'd say Deois seems most similar. I'm also finding articles showing quite a lot of wing/pattern variety within single species, so a complex one!

        Thanks a lot for the suggestions.         Posted 6 years ago

          I agree that Deois looks to be the closest so far. Variation would help explain why it's so hard to find a match! Posted 6 years ago

            Yes even between Kay's post and this one you can see a color difference, yet seems likely the same species. Posted 6 years ago

              Yep. Too bad he doesn't have it already identified though! Posted 6 years ago

                True, but I understand why given his enormous set and how he's basicly pioneering observations (at least online. We're considering a 2020 Ecuador trip btw :) Posted 6 years ago
