North Peru colorful Moths and Butterfly ID help (1 Viewer)

[Jim M.]

All the photos are from late October. The three moths (photos 1-2 & 4) were all at 2300m around Owlet Lodge in Amazonas, Peru. The habitat there is cloud forest. The first one I think is a Tiger Moth (Tribe Arctiini), Subtribe Euchromiina, but I haven't been able to narrow it down any further. The second one I think is a Tiger Moth, but no other clue. No clue on the last moth except I think it is a Noctuid.

The striking butterfly I think is a Tigerwing, genus Melinaea. Elevation about 1000 m in foothills bordering the Amazon basin in San Martin province Peru. Hoping to get a species ID, but there seem to be a lot of similar species and a lot of variation among them.

Can’t help at all but they’re stunning

Perhaps family Tortricidae for the last one.

Thanks for the comments so far. I reckon these are long shots to get ID'd--I have had no luck at iNaturalist either. They might be undescribed species for all I know.

Number 1 is possibly , Mesothen sp , and 4 probably one of the Lichen moths .I will do some digging.
