Agrias sahlkei ninus is a splendid Agrias from Manaus area in Brazil. It has been described in 1924 by Fassl.
Agrias lecerfi (Lathy 1924) and Agrias biedermanni (Fassl 1924) are synonyms.
Most specimens comes from Manaus area, including Itacoatiara and Rio Urubu.
Some forms like incompleta or reevesi are very rare in collection. It is one of the most beautiful Agrias to my mind.
