Heliconius sara apseudes
Thank you, bayucca. Nice try, LuckyLogan, but I'll take bayucca's sugestion, sorry.
Very close, indeed, LuckyLogan, Antiochus is a mimic of Sara. Nevertheless I think Sergio's is Heliconius sara based on the blue glim, which is not really present in Antiochus. If there is some blue parts in Antiochus then it is a deep dark blue not a brilliant glim like in Sara. Besides the white markings are slightly different. The first marking is a little bit thicker in Antiochus and more or less straight, whereas in Sergio's and Sara it is more slim and some kind detached/interrupted. The second marking is much broader in Sara than in Antiochus. This let me think of Sara not Antiochus. What do you think?

By appearance there could be a chance that it is a H. cydno subspecies, but it don't think they are found in Brazil. My ID was based on appearance and a little looking around to where they are found. Could be wrong.
