Luis Miguel Constantino's Heliconius hybrids



(© LM Constantino 1999)

I am grateful to Luis Miguel Constantino for sending me these pictures of hybrids in his collection.  In spite of the label, these hybrids appear to involve various races of H. cydno from W. Colombia, Cauca and Magdalena Valleys, and H. heurippa from near Villavicencio.  The form of the forewing red suggests H. heurippa rather than H. melpomene as the likely parent.
