Unknown spotting

Yes, you are the butterflies ID guru!

I have tried 2471 times...

Butterflies of the Neotropical Region, Bernard D'Abrera, books 1 to 7. The starting point is what I ask to you and the other experts... But even having it, sometimes it is very hard to find an ID, you know that. But I try...

Pallema is important, the genus might change, but the species name usually stays. D'Abrera is also for me very important, the problem with any book is: Where to start?? In addition to D'Abrera (you have all?) you need Lamas 2004 for the actual names as well.

I agree, Bayucca. I had only seen BOTA photo, which is very dark. I found in D'Abrera* a Euptychia pallema that looks pretty much like this one, and is said to happen at Peru and Bolivia (by the way, I think that the reported incidence of at least some species must be taken more as a guide than as a rule, because I suspect that there are still many things to be discovered in this field). Anyway, I'll keep researching.

* I know D'Abrera is almost obsolete, but it still has valuable information for a beginner like me. At least it points me a way to go.

Look also at this ones:

Looks at first sight not bad, but I am not sure if this one is really Pallema. Are there reports from Brazil? What about the other spots on the hindwing? I only see 2, Pallema should have more. Pallema has on the ventral (!) surface 2 distinct and quite broad stripes, I only see 1 faint and thin one. What do you think??

Bayucca, what about this: Magneuptychia pallema ?

Life isn't easy at all ;-)...
Nymphalidae, Satyrinae. I try to get closer even with broken wings...

It probably flies around in a " matter of fact way"
