Maliau Basin Conservation Area [Request some ID]
Hi Guys,
I would like to share my findings from my 2 days camping trip recently in Maliau Basin. The trip was my 3rd short trip, not too many butterfly or even moths around, probably the seasons start to have light showers every evening.. or just too many birds around that place.
Nevertheless some butterflies I managed to photograph and some need ID help from the experts here.
1. Polyura jalysus triphonus

2. Polyura athamas faliscus

Many Thanks again.

10 female C. sperthis.
11. Very hard to separate M. patiana & anaputa.
M. anapita paler & yellower; Upperside FW eyespot clearly yellow-ringed.
Underside FW extra lower spot may be significant.

M. patiana ; deeper orange brown Upperside eyespot smudged into black border.

The two are much mixed-up on the web.
Even Yutaka's M. anapita appeared to be M. patiana .

13. Probably a broad banded H. taminatus.
H. taminatus Singapore.

TL Seow: Cheers.
Thank for the corections, Dr Seow. I see the FW band on the Ionolyce now. Should've noticed it earlier!
