Popis: Agradecimentos: We thank Marina V. Beirão, Marcio Romero, and Pedro Gusmão for their help during the field work in the Salto do Curuá region. André Simões and Rafael Oliveira helped with the identification of the plants used as nectar and pollen sources by the butterflies. Aline Peruchi helped with DNA extraction. Jim Mallet read and gave valuable suggestions to the last version of the manuscript. André C. Lopes helped with photographs of the type series and Tamara M. C. Aguiar helped by spreading all type specimens of H. h. curuassp. nov. and the dozens of individuals collected by Keith Brown and Jorge Kesselring. Photographs of specimens and label data were provided by Alexandre Soares (Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro), Marcelo Duarte and Renato de Oliveira (Museu de Zoologia da USP) and Mirna Martins Casagrande (UFPR, Curitiba, Paraná). Andrew Neild, Renato Mattei, and Roberto Mattei helped by providing photos of H. h. renatae from Venezuela. We thank the ICMBIO for the collecting permit (SISBIO 10438-1). Brazilian specimens are registered in the SISGEN (ABE5972).

This subspecies exhibits a non-mimetic phenotype typical of H. hermathena, but is characterized by the merging of the yellow streak over the forewing cubitus with the red postmedian band in the dorsal forewing. The subspecies is known from two localities in the south of Altamira, Pará State, Brazil, where it inhabits an isolated patch of "campina" vegetation more than 600 km from the nearest known H. hermathena populations. Geographic isolation of the population is supported by molecular data; based on the mitochondrial gene COI, all individuals of H. hermathena curuassp. nov. form a monophyletic group and all haplotypes found in it are unique, suggesting that gene flow is not currently on-going. Given the fragile situation of Amazonian white sand forests and the proximity of the population to areas of intensive agriculture, this new subspecies and its habitat deserve attention CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQ FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP Fechado
