    Default Pelopidas or Borbo cinnara

    Dr. Seow ,

    My deduction , please correct me if I am wrong:

    Possibly a Pelopidas or a Borbo cinnara

    There are 3 species of Pelopidas here in Singapore , P.conjunctus, P. assamensi and P.Mathias.

    We can rule out P. conjunctus as the base color is of a darker brown, the P. assamensi was ruled out too as it is at least 1.5 times that of a P. mathias.

    That left P. Mathias, this species also frequently have very small or insignificant hindwing basal spot or a Borbo cinnara


    cheers!
