Cycloglypha thrasibulus thrasibulus

Uncommon(?) up to 1050 m. Puddles; attracted to bait and spitwads.

Similar species: C. thrasibulus has D markings brighter blue, with less purple tones, but I'm not confident identifying all individuals, especially if they are worn. C. tisias has a the VHW tornal area distinctly yellowish.

Cycloglypha enega

Fairly common up to 1200 m. Attracted to bait, mud, and spitwads.

Similar species: Fine speckling on D is unlike other Cycloglypha; compare also with some Camptopleura species (I have no Cusco records of the two most similar species, C. auxo and C. theramenes) which lack the contrast between pale purplish DFW costa and the rest of the DFW markings, among other differences.
