    Default A tricky Isma species

    Photographed at mid elevations on Doi Pha Hom Pok, n Thailand. I can nail this down as far as an Isma species, but searches and literature after cannot find a pattern match for this individual. Suggestions please.

    Many thanks

    Polytremis discreta.

    Two species can be very difficult in pix.

    Many thanks for that. So much for my skill at identifying it as an Isma!
