Lyces vulturata described in Josia
James S. Miller and Andrew V. Z. Brower
Introduction
This high-altitude Peruvian species was long associated with Scea, based on superficially similar wing patterns. It flies with and is apparently involved in Müllerian mimicry with the pericopine arctiid Crocomela flammifera.
