Mangrove Buckeye (Junonia genoveva / Junonia neildi)

Occurs in/near mangrove habitats in coastal Florida & Texas south into South America. There has been much confusion as to the proper scientific name for this taxon. For explanation, see: http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/junonia_g_genoveva.htm

A newly published study by Lalonde, McCullagh, and Marcus (J. Lep Soc 72(2), 2018) provides evidence that the Florida population of Mangrove Buckeyes are distinct from South American Mangrove Buckeyes, and that the Florida population should be called Junonia neildi.
