Arhopala 1.
Normally it will be very difficult to ID based on upperside only, but this appears to be a female A. kurzi.
The extend of the brown border, the costal blue divided by the veins into streaks, & the hindwing blue appears to be divided into strips, seem sufficient clues.

2. A. zambra female (note extensive brown on hindwing topside.)
Key line 1, 7, 8, 95, 96, 100, 120, 124, 126, 146, 148, 149,

3. A. zambra.

4 A. agesilaus.
Key line 1, 7, 8, 9, 23, 45, 55, 56, 57.

5. A. zambra.

Allotinus 1.
This should be A. horsfieldi female if it is not very small.
Hindwing postdiscal spot in space 6 is under the spot in space 7.
A. corbeti is similar but tiny.
A. leogoron female have narrow needlepoint teeth.

2. A. strigatus male.
Note submarginal black & white spots.
Hindwing postdiscal spot in space 6 is midway between the spot in space 5 & 7.

3. A. horsfieldi female, worn.

The Siverline is intriguing. The submarginal band on the hindwing touches the upper margin as in S. seliga.
The pale marginal line on the forewing is clear & not obscured or sullied as in S. lohita.
However, C&P4 shows an S. seliga in which the marginal pale line is also clear,plate 38/38.
its this individual large ?

Nice series of shots LC, you had quite a great variety of butterflies there.


Tinsel is Swee ah.

More rarities to come.

Thanks Seow for the IDs.

Thanks Nelson. Not many, finishing soon. Just got a surprise butt which will be posted by Les later.

Where is Les ?

[Glorious Begum]

Can this be Euthalia monina monina ? It has series of black markings in the upper hindwing.






Thauria aliris pseudaliris (The Tufted Jungleking)



Thaumantis odana pishuna (Malayan Jungleglory)



Hasora, which one ?



Zographetus satwa




Green Imperial ?




Is this Surendra vivarna amisena ?

[Glorious Begum]

Seow,

Yes, the #1 Allotinus is small but not tiny. I guess in this case, it should be A. horsfieldi.

The Silverline is small. Should not be the others I guess.

Erites elegans distincta

[atronox]

The lycaenid is interesting. It appears to be a female Thrix scopula or related sp.

[Psyche]

S. lohita is correct. The intervening pale area between marginal & submarginal bands is also relatively wide.(Very narrow in seliga.)

The Malay Baron is the only baron in which the male have blue on the forewing.

The Hasora is eitherH. lizetta or H. zoma.
Should be H. lizetta since there is ochreous shading.

Female Zeltus amasa.

S. vivarna is correct.

My apologies, this is a female fluffy tit.
