Nyceryx traça

Amazing find! Most definitely Sphingidae, Macroglossinae, Dilophonotini, Nyceryx sp. This is either N. riscus or N. stuarti. I think this may be N. riscus due to the paler color, as seen in the following link: http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/nriscus.htm http://boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=nyceryx+riscus&searchMenu=taxonomy&query=nyceryx+riscus http://www.brazilhawkmoths.com/page35.html However, some arguments could be made in favor of N. stuarti: http://boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=nyceryx+stuarti&searchMenu=taxonomy&query=nyceryx+stuarti http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/nstuarti.htm Considering that N. stuarti not listed on the comprehensive brazil hawkmoths website, I am more inclined to call this N. riscus. What size was this? Some sources seem to indicate that size is the best way to identify these species. I would be interested in hearing the opinions of others.

Nice series! Interesting mimicry.

Essa é uma mariposa Macroglossinae. Eu não seu a especie. Aqui tem um link com uma bastante semelhante, mas de cor diferente: http://www.insetologia.com.br/2014/08/mariposa-lugubre-em-sao-paulo.html
