    Default I know I have these wrong!

    I had thought that my Lycaenidae were all sorted, so I have started publishing individual species pages for that family on my site.

    As the files are in alphabetical order, needless to say, I soon came across the Arhopala species, and I have found three specimens in my A. lurida file that I am positive are wrong (hindwing spots in 5,6 & 7 not in echelon).

    1&2) Same specimen. It appears to be a female Alitaeus group, but unlike any I have seen before, the hindwing margin is too thin. Could this be a female A. ariana, as I have no photos in my books for this sex?
    3) ?
    4) ?

    The fourth photo may be same species as the first, but the third has the postdiscal spots in 4 & 5 in line, whereas they are not in line in the other 3.
