Etcheverrius tandilensis
This Grayling Butterfly was another abundant species I saw all through Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. This one was spotted while I was hiking to Chorrillo del Salto in El Chalten, Argentina. I did not get any photos with the wings opened. It was approximately 4 cm.

Hi misako! I believe this could be the Argentinian representative of the genus Etcheverrius. See also:
