Agrias claudina lucianus has been separated from Agrias claudina croesus by Seraphin & Attal in 2009. It is said to live on the East bank of rio Tapajos (Miritituba), rio Curua Una, rio Xingo and rio Tocantins as far as the Marajo island.
Note that there could also be a West-East cline with redder specimens in the East. We have a collection with blue on hind wings (croesus like) that was caught in Rio Curua Una.
