Thanks bayucca, they do look very similar. Thanks Emilie!

Nymphalidae, Satyrinae, Oxeoschistus sp.. Tricky one. It is either Oxeoschistus simplex or Oxeoschistus puerta. These might be the same ones and there might be a confusion with the actual taxon or Simplex and Puerta are different species and then I have problems to separate them from each other. I try to verify this later. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mateo_gable/4733370704/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/colombia_birding_diego/8164032209/ http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/t/Oxeoschistus_a.htm
