Heliconius hewitsoni Hewitson 1875

Heliconius sapho hewitsoni Hewitson 1875 [Lamas (2004) considers hewitsoni to be a subspecies of sapho, but the current phylogenetic hypothesis shows it to be sister taxon of sapho + congener + eleuchia (which Lamas views as species)]

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
