Memphis anna

Memphis anna is a species of leafwing found in Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, and Peru.
Memphis anna is a butterfly with forewings with a humped costa and angular apex. The upper side is almost black with the forewings barred by an orange or red band that separates the apex. The underside is reddish-brown with a black basal part and simulates a dead leaf.A. anna Stgr. is nearly allied to the preceding species, as is shown by the figures. It comes from the Upper Amazon and is known only in few specimens. The orange-yellow spot of the forewing of elina is in anna scarlet and the hindwing does not exhibit a circumscribed lustrous spot, but is covered in the disk with a duller blue reflection.
