Description

Chetone isse (Hübner, [1831])

Fig. 1 B

Remarks.

Chetone isse is a species that does not exhibit sexual dimorphism and has a dark tiger-pattern which is quite different from that dominant in the Atlantic Forest. Some specimens might show polychromatism on the hindwings, in the black submarginal band, which has led to the description of Pericopis decisa, later considered a synonym by Buttler in 1875 (Lamas 2017).

Material examined.

1 male, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro; 1 male, Brazil, Santa Catarina; 1 female, Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul.
