FIGURE 88. Hybrid #55 (dorsal, ventral). Colombia: "Cundinamarca, Veraguas." Neustetter collection (NMW). Interpreted by Mallet et al. (2007) as a H. melpomene "{euryas}" (Fig. 73) x H. cydno cydno (Fig. 72) F1 (see nomenclatural notes under Hybrid #41). Locality is in Bogotá, which is probably from where the specimen was shipped to H. M. Neustetter (an Austrian entomologist and specimen dealer). The forewing of this specimen is superficially reminiscent of that of H. heurippa (Fig. 148), but the HW has H. cydno characters such as the ventral brown forceps (partially obscured by the labels due to careless photographic technique). Note that the diffuse submarginal HW band is shifted proximally relative to most of the other specimens in this group, suggesting the pattern of H. cydno wanningeri (Fig. 89). Given the poor locality data, the specimen is difficult to interpret.
