Taxonomy

Compared to the nominate subspecies D. c. cleophile from Hispaniola, the subspecies found in Jamaica is smaller, darker in pigmentation, and possess various infinitesimal but accordant wing pattern characteristics. It is now newly founded and described as Danaus cleophile jamaicensis.[3]

Description

Holotype Male:

Dorsal Forewing The dorsal forewing of the holotype male has an orange-brown color with black veins, a black apex, and a wide black outer edge. The costa's base is gray, with one pale yellow dash running in the middle between the costa and subcosta, two pale yellow dashes above the cell's end, followed by a post-discal pair, and one pale yellow dash close to the apex. The tornus is where the inner row of 10 light yellow dots and the outer row of eleven spots along the outer edge converge.[3]
