}}Macrosoma heliconiaria is moth-like butterfly described by Achille Guenée in 1857. It belongs to the family Hedylidae.[1] Originally it belonged to the genus Hedyle. Malcolm J. Scoble combined it with Macrosoma in 1986.[2] DistributionThe species is recorded widely across the tropical South America: Colombia, Venezuela, French Guiana, across Brazil to Belém at the mouth of the Amazon; south to the mid-west of Peru.[2][4] DescriptionWingsThe wings are greyish brown in color. Forewing has white triangle on the costa. Hindwing is narrow translucent in the central area. The length of forewing can be 17–19 mm.[4] GenitaliaMaleFollowing are the characteristics of the male genitalia:[4]
FemaleThe female genitalia has the following features:[4]
AntennaThe antenna is bipectinate in both sexes.[4] DiagnosisM. heliconiaria is similar to M. semiermis, but the translucent area on the hindwing is less extensive, the ground color of the moth is more grey, and the apex of the forewing is not distinctly darker than the rest of the wing in terms of intensity. The shape of the gnathos and the presence of the lobe on the valva also distinguishes M. heliconiaria from M. semiermis, as does the globose corpus bursae with its collar like signum.[4]References
