Coordinator notes: I first labeled this Greta morgane and someone marked it "misidentified" with the reason "Lacks the dark apex" which is simply NOT TRUE. It has a dark apex. The submitted photo was very dark, so I downloaded and lightened it and it still has a dark apex. But I now believe the apex should be wider for Greta morgane, then studied it further using 4 books on CR Butterflies and iNaturalistCR and decided to change it to Hypoleria lavinia because the HW has a recurved vein not found in Greta morgane which is more common here. But iNaturalist agreed with me that the best match is Hypoleria lavinia, thus it is changed. I'm getting better ID help from iNaturalist than BAMONA.
