Heteropsis sp. 2, Ranomafana, Madagascar More beautiful than the typical heteropsis yet I did not succeed to identify it to the species level, even after checking all 74 species:<br /> <a href="http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/TaxBrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=210338" rel="nofollow">http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/TaxBrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=210338</a><br /> I was hoping for the dark triangle-shaped patch on the wing to be a useful key, but no luck yet.
