Heliconius lalitae

Heliconius lalitae is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It was described by Christian Brévignon in 1996. It is endemic to French Guiana.
In scientific literature, Heliconius lalitae is mentioned as one of the rarer Heliconius species that is found "at low density in infrequently visited areas," making it difficult to include in comprehensive studies of the genus.

Visual Description

Heliconius lalitae has yellow distal spots and red square sections on its wings. There is also a basal transverse red stripe through the discoid cell of the hind wings.
