Idalus intermedia
DISTRIBUTION: Central & South America.
TYPE LOCALITY: Peru.
NICARAGUA RECORDS: Bartola.
METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION: adult illustrated in colour by Seitz (1925)
pl. 52, fig. g6 and by Rothschild (1909) in Novitates Zoologicae 16 pl. 6, fig. 37.
NOTES: this identification appears to be reasonably certain, although the Type Locality
gives rise to some doubt.
With such a
number of very similar species a generic revision is probably necessary to be certain.
