CCA - 24 Jun 2012

Hi, have not been posting for a while
Sharing a few shots here taken on 24/6 together with Brian, Mark and Cher Hern at CCA

[Psyche]

1. Male Quedara monteithi.
2. Sinthusa nasaka.
3 is the interesting one.
There is a faint white cell spot in the correct position, so it is Pelopidas.
The colour is quite ochreous without the grey tinge.
I think you've found the male of the long awaited Pelopidas agna.
4. Eulacera osteria.

Thanks, Dr. Seow for the ID
Unfortunately I don't have other shots of #3. It will be great if it is confirmed Pelopidas agna, Little Branded Swift, and it will be our second sighting then
Brian & I have seen it at DFNP on 24 Mar 2012, which Brian had posted the shot. Too bad I missed the shots then as I was tired chasing after it for a while

I am fairly confident the ID is correct.
Here is a Singaporean male Pelopidas mathias at roughly the same light exposure for comparison.
