Scea subcyanea
James S. Miller and Andrew V. Z. Brower
Introduction
Known from only two specimens at the time of publication of Miller's monograph (2009), this largest Scea species is endemic to southeastern Peru. Jim Miller discovered larvae and pupae apparently belonging to this species in the Cosñipata valley of southern Peru in April, 2010.Characteristics
Easily distinguished from the superficially similar Scea gigantea by the uniformly dark, bluish-black scaling on the hindwings (Miller, 2009).References
