Eurybia dardus
Common up to 1400 m. Found in forest; attracted to flowers. I don't understand the relationship - or the difference - between true dardus and annulata, which is usually listed as a subspecies of dardus; they may both occur in Cusco, perhaps in different areas or at different elevations, potentially with overlap.

Eurybia patrona
Uncommon(?) up to 550 m. Found in forest; occasionally attracted to flowers and bait. I'm not sure which subspecies occur(s) in Cusco.
Similar species: The only Eurybia other than the very different E. juturna that lacks a pair of white spots distal from the 'eyespot' DFW.
Eurybia albiseriata
Uncommon(?) up to 750 m. Found in forest; attracted to flowers and occasionally to bait. I'm not sure which subspecies occur(s) in Cusco.
Similar species: Lacks FW 'eyespot' shown by most Eurybia; E. elvina granulata has post-discal white spots on DHW as well as DFW.
Eurybia elvina granulata
Rare(?) up to 850 m. Found in forest. The individual shown from Mato Grosso may be a different subspecies.
Similar species: Most similar to E. albiseriata which lacks white post-discal dots on DHW.
