Euselasia Inini
''Euselasia'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Riodinidae. They are present only in the Neotropical realm. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Description The wing veins are inconstant. Some species have two, others three, and one species (''Euselasia aurantiaca, E. aurantiaca'') even four subcostal branches. The genus is recognizable by the anterior radial vein either running directly in the elongation of the subcostal, or being connected with it by a very short anterior discocellular. The butterflies often have the appearance of small Satyrinae, satyrids or ''Thecla'' species; as for instance ''Euselasia eutychus'' resembles (particularly beneath) exactly ''Euptychia helle'' flying in the same locality, or ''Thecla themathea''; or ''Euselasia clithra'' resembles ''Euptychia chloris'' and so on. On the upper surface there is often a very bright reflection of a shining power otherwise not found in any lepidopteran and of a truly wonderful iridescence. The lar ...
