 L.E. Gilbert - Heliconius Wing Pattern Evolution
The first major surprise (and the event that triggered further investigation) was the appearance of a striking and novel HW pattern, a large white or yellow oval in hybrid populations derived from crosses of cydno and pachinus (see Figure 5a and b).
Along a transect from the top of the discal cell to the top of the cydno window, melpomene, and pachinus distal FW shutter boundaries occur at approximately 1/2 and 3/4 the distance to cydno's position on the boundary (compare Figure 4 lower left b, c, and Figure 1i).
While it is melpomene's influence that widens a HW marginal window (as seen in Figure 7, top panel, e, f, and h), it is cydno galanthus that provides the previously mentioned white pattern elements in an area that is solid melanic in melpomene rosina and, incidentally, in pachinus.

 L.E. Gilbert - Heliconius Wing Pattern Evolution
If the F1 [cydno x melpomene] males in the same hybrid zone backcross to pure melpomene females (e.g., Figure 4 lower right) the segregates will have both red forewings (the red gene being epistatic) and possess melpomene mtDNA.
Thus, in the case of (cydno) tristero and melpomene mocoa,), we probably have a case of melpomene FW red patterns shared by common descent from F1 fathers in an area of natural hybridization, rather than mimicry between cydno and melpomene (which is not known to exist).
