Corades argentata
Fairly common 2000-2300 m. Puddles and attracted to bait.
Similar species: Most similar to C. pannonia albomaculata but usually has a more strongly marked white post-discal line VHW; VFW of pannonia lacks orange markings shown by argentata, and pannonia has white apical spots DFW.
Corades pannonia albomaculata
Common 1100-2150 m. Puddles, attracted to bait.
Similar species: See C. argentata.
Corades sareba
Fairly common(?) 2400-2700 m. Attracted to bait and mud. I'm not sure which subspecies occur(s) in Cusco; individuals from the Manu Road (eg. from Pillahuata, shown below) resemble the nominate, while some furher north (eg. from Alto Combamayo, shown below) have virtually no reddish on VFW and look more like fusciplaga.
Similar species: Dark marginal areas (sometimes narrow) VHW distinguish it from C. enyo and C. iduna. C. medeba is darker and greyer overall on VHW, with a very different VFW.
Corades medeba medeba
Common 1350-2400 m. Puddles and attracted to bait.
Similar species: VHW darker than C. sareba and C. melania; VFW pattern distinctive, although somewhat similar to C. cybele semiplena (I have no Cusco records) which has a longer HW tail, and details of orange on VFW differ.
Corades melania
Uncommon(?) at 2700 m., probably somewhat higher and lower. Puddles, attracted to bait.
Similar species: Most similar to C. medeba but VHW paler and more uniform, and VFW lacks orange.
