    Seow, Thank you so much for assisting in IDing these brownie flyers.
    You took juz a few hours to ID them . I would have taken days if not weeks, if not months and finally give up to come to a conclusion about their ID.

    The location of the shots has been added.

    Default Arhopala sublustris ridleyi male

    Keys 1, 7, 8, 95 ,96 ,100, 120, 124, 126, 127/146
    Here is one of the difficulties: key 127( medium size ,not prominent lobe ) or 146 ( large size, prominent lobe). Looking at the butt. the tornal lobe looked rather large, but choosing 146 leads to 147 (A. cleander) which is incorrect because A. cleander male have wider brown borders.
    The logical choice is then 127, to 129, 133, 134, 135.
    136( A. milleri) have the wing borders a thread, & spot 6 which overlaps the cellend bar.

    It is good to have a size indication of the butterfly whether medium as in A. major or large as in A. centaurus.

    This is a new record.

    I give up, tried and still cannot fully understand all these keys. Shame on me. Could someone circle or draw arrow pointing the keys to the picture for dummy like me to pick up easily.
