[Painted Jezebel]

3. should be the female of G. lebadea, since the subapical spots are missing.
4. is J. celeno. All the striae are misaligned.
5 is P. trachala. Hindwing dark spotting; forewing spots indented margins & little overlap between spot 3 & 4.
6. should be Caltoris bromus. Partially pale antennal shaft; 2 cell spots; (slightly ochreous) brown underside.

Thanks, Seow.

Re 3) - Below is the underside. I noticed the apparant lack of subapical spots, but felt that the position of the existing forewing spots discounted G. lebedea, no hindwing pale band, and it seemed too large as well.
Re 4) Blast.... still trying to find a decent shot of J. pura, or another, as yet, unrecorded member of this group.
Re 5) Thanks, I had wondered.
Re 6) I really can not tell these genera apart from the undersides. Mental block here !

Thanks Brian for your kind comment.
