Euptychia westwoodi
Andrew V. Z. Brower
Introduction
Euptychia westwoodi ranges from Mexico to Colombia. DeVries lists E. westwoodi and E. mollis as two separate species, but Lamas (2004) has suggested that they are one. Unlike most satyrines, larvae of Euptychia spp. feed on the lycophyte Selaginella (DeVries, 1987).References
