| Abstract | according to Lamas (2004), 17 species of the nymphaline genus Morpho Fabricius, 1807 are found in peru, twelve of which were reviewed previously by Blandin (1 88, 1 ). However, knowledge of the geographical distribution of those species in the country is still quite limited. nevertheless, during recent years new data have been obtained from some insufficiently known areas. as a result, we have found several new taxa at the subspecific level, which we describe herein, namely (i) two subspecies of Morpho cisseis C. Felder & R. Felder, 1860, a lowland amazonian species which shows considerable diversification in several valleys at the base of the eastern slopes of the andes; (ii) one subspecies of Morpho amphitryon staudinger, 1887, a scarce species living in andean montane forests at altitudes ranging from some 700 to slightly over 2000 m, and whose northernmost population has been Five new Peruvian subspecies of Morpho (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Morphinae) |
