About Pseudohaetera hypaesia Hewitson, 1854
Pseudohaetera hypaesia has a wingspan of approximately 105 millimetres, equal to 4.1 inches. The uppersides of its wings are transparent and produce iridescent light reflections. All wing margins, except the inner margin of the anterior wing, are brown, and the wing veins are black. A narrow brown band crosses the anterior wing obliquely, running from the lower discocellular nervule to the anal angle. The outer margin of the posterior wings has a broad purple-brown border that encloses five irregular transparent spots. The spot near the apex is larger than the other four, and it is intersected by a nervure. Two black eyespots sit on the margin, each with a rufous iris and a white pupil. The undersides of the wings match the pattern of the uppersides, with the addition of a light rufous band that runs transversely through the brown border of the posterior wing, above the white spots. This species is distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
