•  Support. Diaethria clymena marchalii is a subspecies of Diaethria clymena. Am I right? -- Jkadavoor (talk) 06:12, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

  Not exactly. Some authors consider Diaethria marchalii as a sub-species of Diaethria clymena. The most recent books (refer for example to "Butterflies of Venezuela - part I", from british author Andrew Neild), clearly differentiate the two species, even if they are very similar. On english Wikipedia, marchalii is considered as a sub-species of clymena, which would not be 100% right - but to me those are just details of little importance, and very subjective descriptions (depending on the author). According to Neild, what is considered Diaethria clymena has only been found in southern Venezuela, and marchalii sp. on the north. This pic was shot at the northern Andes mountains. Last but not least, Diaethria gen. is considered "very complicated" by scientist themselves, it has lots and lots of subspecies, with very little differences among them. --Paolo Costa (talk) 12:16, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the info; so the image is added to the categories, Diaethria marchalii and Diaethria. Jkadavoor (talk) 05:18, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

• Cool, thank you, I think it's better that way than putting it inside the clymena category, to avoid problems. --Paolo Costa (talk) 13:16, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
