Where it lives

This butterfly lives in the American tropics, in both Central and South America. One North American butterfly database describes its range, covering all its subspecies together, as stretching from Mexico south to Venezuela and Ecuador. A specialist neotropical site lists the subspecies daguana from eastern Costa Rica, where it is described as mixing with the subspecies marcia.
