The Eunomia Eighty-eight or Eunomia Numberwing (Callicore eunomia) is a species of butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is found in the upper Amazonian region, from Colombia and Guiana to Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia.[2]
The wingspan is 30–40 mm.[3] Adults are black with a broad, orange or red area on the forewings and a blue area on the hindwings. There is a rare form, ab. confluens, found in central Peru, in which the black markings on the underside are greatly enlarged.
