Thanks Dr Seow and Les for correcting the id of MT14.

Simply fantastic, Federick and Lc! So many beautiful shots of different species.

It was interesting to see your photo of Creteus cyrina cyrina. I saw that species a couple of years ago above the headquarters of Mt. Kinabalu. It must be a wide-ranging montane species. They look so odd with those "hairy" legs.

The Black Raja was very nice. Did you see more than one?

[Glorious Begum]

David, there were couple of Black Rajah. It is quite common there.

[Commander]

The Black Rajah is pretty common up in Thailand and India, from the number of posts that I see on the Internet. It's just Singapore that's Black Rajah-deprived.

[Angiud]

Thailand is only locally common, Going South become less common

In Ypthima lisandra, the two ocelli in space 1b are in line with ocelli 2 & 3, thats it, all four lower ocelli are in a straight line.

I suppose it is the dry cool season in the north now.

TL Seow: Cheers.

Thanks. Yes, I can see the difference. The only thing was that I only saw wet season forms of other Satyrinae during our stay, .... I think!

Thank you for confiming Thauria lathyi gabrieli. I thought it was that but was not sure. I had no idea about Onryza siamica, damn, I think I may have missed it thinking 'Halpe'!

.

Oops here. The premise stated is totally incorrect since both species have the white band broad towards the tornus beneath .
The redbrown band between the ocelli is rectangular in T. lathyi, so this appeared to be T. aliris.
See Doi Suthep thread.

1. Likely the same subspecies. ssp dhyana have more deeply notched cell spot.

2. Hasora vitta. Hasora proxissima lacks the FW subapical spot.

4. Curetis bulis. HW postdiscal band (which continues from the FW) is short , the mark in space 6 is large but that in space 5 below is tucked in & narrow (represented by a few dots here.).
The same marks in C acuta are in line & usually continus linearly downwards parallel to the submarginal marks.
See-thru shows the orange is much restricted as in C. bulis.

5.Probably Halpe zola.
I can't differentiate between H. zola & zema at the moment. H. zola is said to be fairly common up north.

TL Seow

Unforunately, no-one else can either! I think H. zola but I can not be sure. Are they different species? Personally, I am not sure.

It is similar to the recent paper regarding Euthalia phemius and E. ipona. I do not agree with their comments, for a huge number of reasons. Entirely personal.

Thank you Dr Seow.
