Adeloneivaia isara Series: Males: Recto

Here are images of male Adeloneivaia isara specimens from Costa Rica.

Males tend to be small (36-54mm) with most specimens having a wingspan between 42 and 46mm. The slightly preapical forewing pm line is straight to slightly concave and meets the inner margin approximately 1/3 its distance from the anal angle. The cell is marked with a diffuse circle of slightly darker grey-violet scales and may be with or without a hint of a faint, tiny white dot. The median area lacks the grey-violet cast seen in the basal and postmedian areas.

The hindwing has an evenly rounded outer margin and a very faint and diffuse pm band running obliquely (slightly) from a preapical position on the costa.

There is a reddish form, a lighter orangey form and a much lighter yellowish-orange form.
