Memphis ambrosia

Memphis ambrosia is a butterfly with forewings with a humped costal edge, angular apex, almost straight outer edge, hook-like inner angle and very concave inner edge. The upper side is brown with a more or less metallic blue and a group of light blue spots near the apex on the forewings. The reverse is orange with metallic reflections and simulates a dead leaf. Seitz: "The male has on the hindwings bright metallic marginal spots standing between the chief veins, on the so-called intermediate veins."
