Lars Andersen january 20, 2019:
It is an Amazon Beauty, Baeotus aeilus (Stoll, 1780).
In danske-natur.dk I have misidentified this species, I correct the error determination of art.

Over the years, I have gained better access to info of Bolivian day butterflies on the web, thanks to several skilled specialists such as Gottfried Siebel etc.

There are four species of Baeotus species in Bolivia:
Baeotus aeilus, B. beotus, D. deucalion and B. japetus.

The wingspan is 147–164 mm. Adults are on wing year round.

Kirsten Matthiesen;
I have just arrived in Bolivia a few hours ago, where for the next 2 months I will be photographing butterflies, going to a language school in Spanish, experiencing the local carnival and what else I find on the way.
Peter Møllmann has been here for a month and has thus already photographed a lot of great beautiful butterflies.

Kirsten Matthiesen, January 5, 2019
After a week in Caranavi I landed this morning in Cochabamba, where I will learn español the next few weeks.

I live with a local family, which has already proven to be absolutely fantastic. They are very gracious and patient when I'm looking for the words. We have spoken Spanish several times during the day so my head is tired, but at the same time hungry for more
