A very stange Athyma sp.

[DaveChiangMai]

Three images of two individuals from different localities (Khao Yai and Nan), that appear to be the same species, though completely unlike any other Aythma species. Closest would be Athyma selenophora, but this one differs in several significant ways, and can surely not be the same species?

They are examples of Athyma cama.

Many thanks. A very interesting record from Khao Yai as Thai records (on Yutaka and Kimura) are from north Thailand or extreme west.
