    1. Polytremis lubricans. Both FW & HW spots are yellowish.

    2. Probably Pelopidas conjunctus.
    FW spots large & yellowish : HW spots whitish. This is typical of P. conjunctus.
    The HW cellspot is missing but this sometimes occur.

    Default ID Correction.

    2. Female Parnara bada.No HW cellsot.

    In Parnara have short antennae with short apiculi (tip after the club.)
    In pix the apiculi are usually not visible so that the antennae appear like drumstick.
    I have thought of Parnara but could not get a matching pix so I though perhaps the angle of shot has caused the apiculi to be invisible.
    The spots of P. bada are widely variable in size & number.

    A matching female from Taiwan.
