Celaenorrhinus patula or C. putra?
From mid elevation forest of nw Thailand. Two photos of different individuals, assumed to be the same species.
The literature on the separation of these two species is confusing. Kimura states that wing shape is different, but images on Yutaka show variation between male and female. Kimura also states males of both species have white antennae, but doesn't mention females.
The two additional spots in the forewing apex should rule out male putra, and the white antennae I think implies a male. Also the prominence of the yellow spotting in the hindwing hints these two should be patula? But I am not confident in the best features for separation.
Comments gratefully received.
