nacaduba ID

[Commander]

Thanks Khew.

I shot that one months ago at USR but labelled it as N. Berenice on my Flickr. Today decided to confirm its ID since I was posting a few other UFOs too.

Will read the thread you linked. I think I have many mis-ID on my Flickr page

The Jamides, Nacaduba, Arhopala genera will be fraught with uncertainties. Even with set specimens, there have been difficulty in IDs, what more field shots showing just one view of the species. So don't worry too much about it. If in doubt, just put Nacaduba sp. until you have a higher level of confidence of the ID. We're fortunate over here to have someone like Dr Seow to point out where to look for when examining the diagnostic features of separating the species.

After nailing down the IDs, then we have to deal with taxonomic updates in the scientific world, e.g. the Striped Albatross discussion in another part of this forum.
