Altinote leontine, Nono to Tandayapa and rio Guallupe.


we keep the "leontine" name for two reasons :
     1 - the scarcity, the behaviour and the limited hatchings of this butterfly have nothing to do with the huge numbers, the behaviour (mud puddling) and the massive hatchings of Altinote negra.
     2 - Gerardo Lamas didn't tell the reasons why he synonimized leontine and negra ?
