    Larva 1 eclosed last night and it is an Eupanacra species. It looks very much like E. mydon, but here I am in a quandry.

    Moths of Borneo shows a photo of the larva of Panacra mydon (same species) which is very different. See here.

    There is a very similar species, E. elegantulus, but I have never seen the larva of this species.

    It looks like you have a perfect match for E. elegantulus here.

    The darker larva is a perfect match. Thank you. It appears I have both E. mydon and E. elegantulus here.
