Need help deciphering data! (South America)

Post by Panacanthus »

Can anyone please help to clarify this data? It came with a specimen of Thysania agrippina. Some words are obvious, but others I am not sure of. I have searched, but cannot find a map which shows these words.

??? - River Amazonas (= Amazon River)
??? - Loreto - Peru

Picuroyacu is a well collected locality on the Amazon river just outside Iquitos in Loreto department, Peru. I'm not sure about the word at bottom left.

Many thanks for all the help! I am in the process of making a “wall display” featuring three large T. agrippinas - now I can include all the proper data on the nameplate. Once it is finished I’ll share a photo!
