Kaeng Krachan NP., Thailand - 26/27 January 2014

The FW spotting match that of N. magadha.
The HW band however, have the veins not darkened.

It probably a N. magadhs variant since there is no other match.

It is the Malayan subspecies, Neptis magadha charon.
The veins on the HW discal band are variably & sometimes poorly darkened.

The Yutaka website often do not list Malayan ssp. which are present in southern Thailand.

There are probably a large number of species found in N. Malaysia that have yet to be formally recorded (by voucher specimen) from S. Thailand. Two guys from Betong on the Malay border recently photographed both Cyrestis maenalis and Athyma assa in that area.

Antonio has also photographed Hasora quadripunctata from Krung Ching last year.

Sovia albipecta
Yutaka put it as Sovia albipectus. (albipectus/albipecta = white breast/chest.
Original designation : Halpe albipectus.
Since Sovia is in the feminine gender it is grammatically correct to alter the specific name to the same gender.

I realized now that I got this species few months ago at Doi Mae Takrai (Chiang Mai). I understand now why was already familiar to me

Thank you again Seow

.

Taxon assa used to be the Sumatran ssp of A. cama.
Does this mean all the Sundanian representatives of A. cama are now A. assa.
