    Happy New Year Dr. Seow!

    Shot the below skipper in Seletar Country Club. It doesn't look like any in BC Checklist. Can you please help to ID?

    Thanks in advance Dr. Seow!

    Male Polytremis lubricans.

    At first sight ,without any noticeable HW spots this appears to be Pemara pugnans.

    Several features are incorrect for Pemara pugnans.
    1. The abdomen is darker brown & barred in P. pugnans.
    2. The antenna in P. pugnans is darker & usually appears almost all black.
    3. The ground colour in P. pugnans is darker brown.
