Napaea heteroea described in Cremna
Andrew V. Z. Brower
Introduction
This common Amazonian and Guianan species was described as a subspecies of N. actoris, and raised to species status by Brévignon and Gallard (1997) based on differences in behavior and wing patterns. Hall (2005) suggests that it occupies drier habitats than N. actoris.References
