L. & C.W. O’Brien , & G.B. Marshall ( FMNH ) ; French Guiana : FG – Amazonia , Mitaraka ( 2°14.2'N , 54°27.1'W ), male, 6.3.2015 , leg. J. Schmidl ( UIC ) . Remarks to distribution : Only few specimens are known from this species. Eleusis frater seems to be rare but has a wide distribution. The records cover a large area from French Guiana in the West to Ecuador and Peru in the East and from Venezuela in the North to Espiritu Santo, Brazil , in the South. Thus, the species seems to be distributed all over the lowland rain forest area from the Guianas and the entire Amazonian lowland rainforest up to the western Andean slope.
