11. Hetaerina cruentata (Rambur, 1842) View in CoL

Together with H. infecta this is the most encountered Hetaerina Hagen in Selys, 1853 species in CNP. Hetaerina cruentata is found along the whole elevational range from just 500m in the lowlands to 1900m. Two morphological variations are observed separated by elevation; a small slender and paler variant at low elevation, and a larger, darker variant with more intense red colouring on the wing from around 1500m.
