Ourapteryx spp.
Notes (optional)
SS:This is probably Ourapteryx sciticaudaria (Walker, 1863). Similar species: Ourapteryx primularis (Butler, 1886). Please measure the wingspans of these yellow Ourapteryx, as primularis is generally larger (~70-80 mm) while sciticaudaria is generally smaller (~60-70 mm). In addition, Ourapteryx primularis has two black spots below the tail, a black-ringed large red spot above the tail, and a very small black spot above the red spot. Ourapteryx sciticaudaria lacks the lower most black spot below the tail. Ourapteryx primularis has fuscous striae in the postmedial area, which is fused into a band in sciticaudaria. Species page needs to be created for these two species, but personally, I would prefer to do this with size to support ID. Lets place this in the generic group for now.
