Hagnagora lex Druce, 1885 View in CoL Fig. 4
Type locality.
Ecuador (east), [Pastaza], Sarayacu.
Remarks.
Hagnagora lex was described by Druce (1885a) together with Hagnagora buckleyi . While buckleyi was collected on the western slopes of the Andes, Hagnagora lex originates from the Amazon slopes of the Eastern Andes.
Distribution.
Eastern Ecuadorian Andes (Pastaza: Sarayacu).
Diagnosis.
Smaller than Hagnagora buckleyi and of similar size to Hagnagora catagrammina . The extension of the blue blotches is significantly smaller than in Hagnagora buckleyi . The form of the transversal band on the forewing is similar to that in Hagnagora buckleyi , but the band does not stretch as far towards the wing margins. Hagnagora lex is the species with the smallest extensions of metallic blue blotches on the underside, with the upperside completely devoit of these blotches.
