Ypthima stellera stellera

Here is another reference that I use to sort through possible species and sub species; I have linked you to the Ypthima {genus} page http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Tax...
The Common Fivering Ypthima baldus has a dry season and wet season form, as well as several subspecies to sort them. Wiki has an explanation and list for you to narrow your search; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ypthima_bal...
