Stolidoptera cadioui
Similar to Stolidoptera tachasara but distinguishable on features of wing shape, colour pattern and male genital structure.
Costal lobe of hindwing only half as broad as in Stolidoptera tachasara. Palps less projecting than in Stolidoptera tachasara. Upperside of abdomen rust-brown with only a narrow median olive-green line (abdomen uniformly dark-green dorsally in Stolidoptera tachasara). Forewing upperside generally similar to Stolidoptera tachasara but: ground colour rust-brown (dark green in Stolidoptera tachasara); apical patch paler green reaching M1 (stops at Rs4 in Stolidoptera tachasara), with white scaling along the outer edge of the submarginal line (absent in Stolidoptera tachasara). Forewing underside brown (green in Stolidoptera tachasara); postmedial line black and serrate (absent in Stolidoptera tachasara, where it is replaced by a diffuse narrow band of white scales). Hindwing upperside very dark brown with a broad, pink fringe (deep black and with a narrow white fringe in Stolidoptera tachasara). Hindwing underside brown (green in Stolidoptera tachasara); postmedial line black and serrate (absent in Stolidoptera tachasara, where it is replaced by a diffuse narrow band of white scales). Male wngspan: 86 mm.
Male genitalia: Similar to those of Stolidoptera tachasara but: harpe drawn out apically into a narrow, tapering recurved hook; phallus slightly broader and about three-quarters the length.
