A31 The Great Nawab - Polyura eudamippus
Subspecies?


A32 The Spangle - Papilio protenor euprotenor


A33 The Black Veined Sergeant - Athyma ranga obsolescens


A34 The Black Veined Sergeant, underside - Athyma ranga obsolescens


A35 A Rajah
C. bernardus or aristogiton??


A36 The Cruiser - Vindula erota erota


A37 The Striped Blue Crow - Euploea mulciber mulciber


A38 Pieridae mass puddling
Where is the intruder?

[Painted Jezebel]

LD 14 Suada swerga : subapical one big one small; discal spots likewise ; pale mark in space 1b; bodyshape & wingshape.
I think you have the size wrong here since appearance indicates moderate size.

Thank you for the ids.

If it is Suada swega, then it was a very small specimen, it was considerably smaller than the Halpe. I had looked at that species but discounted it owing to the underside forewing apical area not being lightened. I showed the wrong photo, sorry. Here is another with more of the underside. Is Suada albolineata of a smaller size?

[Painted Jezebel]

Antonio, post19, No. A24 is Appias indra thronion (Plain Puffin).
A25's English name is Spotted Zebra. That was my mistake during the trip. (What I called the Common Zebra is actually the Lesser Zebra- the one that has paler bases on the underside hindwings).

Finally 2 shots of the Great one that we have been looking high n low for to complete my main Nawab collection.

It is definitely Suada but whether it can be S. albolineata is impossible to tell.
I think they are the same size.
S .albolineata from Cambodia.

PS. I checked the size of S. swerga FW 14/16mm ; H. hauxwelli FW 15mm.
So the male S. swerga is a bit smaller than H. hauxwelli.

Thank you, Seow.

Now for the Lycaenidae (non-Arhopala):
LD14) A small Theclini. I do not know if, without the full tail it can be identified. Smaller than a Common Tit, I thought, at first it was a Narrow Spark, but there is too much orange around the forewing apex. - Sinthusa nasaka amba.
LD15)Sorry about the the shading, only shot I managed, no upper side which would have determined matters. I can not decide if this Loxura atymnus fuconius or L. cassiopeia. It is definitely not what I normally find on Samui. I suspect the latter. - Loxura cassiopeia.

The puddling Polyommatiinae were very difficult, and I think that only I bothered. Most were Acytoplepis lambi, which I ignored, but I managed to find in the melee some different ones:
LD16) Think this is Celastrina lavendularis isabella, but would appreciate confirmation. - Confirmed.
LD17) Probably you will not be able to id this from upperside only. It took off after this photo, and I lost track of it in the mass of blues flying around when trying to get an underside! - Celatoxia marginata splendens.
LD18) Is this Petrelea dana? Never seen that species before. -Confirmed.
LD19) Sun in wrong position, but hopefully enough can be seen to provide an id. - Celastrina lavendularis isabella.

LD14 This matches the female Sinthusa nasaka very well.

LD 15 Loxura cassiopeia male. Male harder to see ID mark, dot of postdiscal band in space 4 is close to submarginal spot; HW heavily-marked.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...aMFUpUnAC1.jpg

LD 16. Celastrina lavendularis. darker ground ; correction note 2 spots at HW dorsum(lower margin) discount some (not all) Udara.

LD 17 This matched Celatoxia marginata. Malayan ssp splendens have reduced black border than example below. See C&P4.
http://www.insect-fans.com/bbs/data/...19d005bd45.jpg

LD 18. Petrelea dana is right.

LD 19 . Another C. lavendularis. Somewhat resembles Acytolepis but HW base of space 7 no spot.

Thank you so much! I am so pleased I took time to look at those puddling blues. 3 new ones for me!

Only a few (3, I think) Arhopala left of the unidentified ones (for tomorrow), though I do have a few others left to post as well but I know those.

PS. Oops, sorry, Seow, but are 16 & 19 the same species? They look different, No. 19 has a cleaner ground colour and the marginal spots are larger, the other spots are darker.
