A new subspecies of Eueides tales (Nymphalidae: Heliconiinae) from the mouth of the Amazon River

ABSTRACT A new subspecies of Heliconiini, Eueides tales forsteri ssp. nov. Freitas, Winhard & Brown is described from the southeastern Marajó Island, Pará, northern Brazil. This subspecies is characterized by the strongly reduced postdiscal yellow spots on the forewing and by the presence of red dennis-ray pattern on the hindwing. This subspecies is only known from its type locality, in the municipality of Soure, but it should be present in other areas in the southeastern region of the Marajó island.
