Panacea bleuzeni

Post by daveuk »

A pair from French Guiana.
All my specimens of this species came from Chuck Ianni from Ohio U.S.A. He sadly passed away at the end of last year.

Endemic from the "Montagne de Kaw", a small area in French Guiana where I staid last year.

I saw only some old specimens in bait traps.
They are not so common but on some years, they can have a population explosion.

A splendid species.

These are poor photos. Apologies. They do not do the specimens justice.

Agreed - the markings do seem more consistent with that of P. divalis (a ssp. of P. procilla, according to some authors).

Chuck Ianni was the best. Really sad that he is not with us any longer.
