Second day at the Park:

1) Another Potanthus sp. - P rectifascia?
2) A female Bassarona teuta rayana (Banded Marquis). This is a different ssp. from what I have on Samui.
3) Amathusia sp. There is something about this one that makes me think it may not be the usual species, but I can not put my finger on it. It certainly looked different when I saw it on the wing! CORRECTION - [I]Amathusia ochraceofusca ochraceofusca, [/I Thank you Seow, I had suspected this, but did not have the balls to actually say it!
4) Arhopala norda ronda
5) Arhopala perimuta regina
6) A LBJ, (little brown job). Possible Caltoris malaya.
7) Arhopala antimuta antimuta
8) Yasoda pita dohertyi (Malayan Branded Yamfly).

Post 1
Zela ornara female (2 subapcal spots & shape of band)

post 3
3. Female Ionolyce helicon (broken postdiscal bands & sagittate spots.)

post 4
Arhopala vihara.(keyed down to vihara or barami, Note white-ringed tornal black spot.)

post 7
Telicota bambusae (contrast & orange too strong; veins not darkened; base of space 2 black; greenish tinge.)
Potanthus trachala probably (strongly notched outer margins of spots.)

post 8
Scobura isota (double conjoined spots in space 4 & 5; another at space 2 discernable.)(Correction: you are probably right it is S. phiditia.)
Halpe ormenes ( tornal part of band broad ; whiter)

Post 11
1. The 3rd segment of the palpus is short & conical as in Telicota & Cephrenes. Unknown
3 Amathusia ochraceofusca (Notches in discal band; submarginal band wavy.)
4. Arhopala norda (spot 6 nearer spot 5; tornal white dot & tooth; border wide at apex(difference from A. moolaiana.)
6. probably Caltoris malaya ( no upper cellspot so 1 or none; underside ferruginous but not as red as C. cormasa.)
7. Arhopala antimuta is correct.

4. Arhopala norda (spot 6 nearer spot 5; tornal white dot & tooth; border wide at apex(difference from A. moolaiana.)

This species was too big to be A, norda, I would, personally stick with my original suggestion.

This species was too big to be A, norda, I would, personally stick with my original suggestion.

Line 56 states spot 6 is roughly midway between spot 5 & cellend bar for A. agesilaus.(see pl 40/7 & pl65/16.)
A. agesilaus and A norda are the same size.


Post 7
Nacaduba hermes.(hindwing pd band & sm spots touching; dark marginal spots, that in space 3 round )

Final day:
1) Ethope diademoides hislopi (White Diadem)
2) Mycalesis mnasicles perna (Cyclops Buchbrown)
3) Arhopala sp? - Update A. epimuta.
4) CORRECTION -Thaumantis klugius lucipor Dark Jungleglory.
5) Paranticopsis aurelia aurelia (Baby Lascar)
6) Arhopala anthelus grahami (Magnificent Oakblue)
7) Halpe aurifera (Golden-Spot Ace).

One and only one left, but this is a species I can not find in any of my books. I will post tomorrow! Will it be new, or am I too hopeful.....again???????

A. agesilaus and A norda are the same size.

Thank you. I have always thought that A. norda was the same size a A. major, i.e. quite small.

Thank you. I have always thought that A. norda was the same size a A. major, i.e. quite small.

This one runs thru the key nicely without problem. I get the feeling the other A. norda which we discussed in the Arhopala thread is just A. amphimuta.

The unknown skipper in post 11 is Potanthus. After checking pics of Potanthus, I find it can be difficult to gauge the palpi in pics.

TL Seow
PS. The only Potanthus in which the underside is rather vague is P. rectifasciatus.(note in this sp.the underside have a spot in space 7 but upper do not.)

Post 16

3. is Arhopala epimuta (note spot 4 is dislocated.)
4. is Thaumantis klugius male (white cross band, margin not angled; hindwing tornus not pointed.)
The rest are correct.

Thank you so much for the IDs and corrections. I am particularly happy that you are able to confirm the Zela onara solex , bad photo though it may be.

One last one, that, I think, may exercise your brain cells a bit! Personally, I have not been able to find anything like it in my books, though, of course, I may be missing something. This was the size of a Matapa aria.

UPDATE (6 April 2012)- Xanthoneura corissa indrasana (Plain Yellow Lancer)
