Anetia briarea briarea (Dominican Republic)

[Trehopr1]

Here is a marvelous and quite large species of (Anetia)
which I encountered in the D. Republic. These were both
encountered in the mountain elevations of Las Abejas in
Pedernales province. Again, very tough to capture given
the surroundings. They were magnificent to see but, due
to their large wingspan several I saw were pretty well
"banged-up". These 2 are the best and only ones I was
able to capture.

Not sure of the species so, perhaps someone can help.

According to Racheli's Guide to the Butterflies of Hispaniola this should be Anetia briarea briarea.

Truly very special these Trehopr. Rare in collections. I have only the commoner A thirza in my collection. Agree with Adam that your specimens are A briarea.
Amazing you have self collected specimens. Well done
