Adelpha butterflies, Biogeography, Distribution, HybridismAbstract
In the present work, biological aspects of some species of diurnal butterflies belonging to the genus Adelpha (Hübner), Which includes 89 species 60 of which inhabit Colombia, are discussed, with emphasis on distribution and biogeography. Moreover, the presence of the phenomenon of hybridization that occurs between some subspecies cohabiting certain regions of central and western Colombia is reported.
