    Telicota linna male. Correction: Cephrenes acalle.
    The veins across the HW band are not dark-dusted. (The veins are prominently raised though .).
    The underside of the face, thorax, & abdomen are whitish.

    Telicota augias is quite orangey, the veins across the HW band also not dark- dusted.
    However, the underside of the body is more uniformly orange.

    TL Seow: Cheers.
    PS. The colour can be confusing.
    Here are other examples of T. augias & linna males.
    T. augias.

    Male Cephrenes acalle may sometimes look similar but all veins are mostly dark-dusted, & band edged with sharp spots.

    Male Cephrenes acalle.

    This is rather deceptive.
    The hindwing markings are similar to C. acalle although the veins darkening are hard to judge.
    In particular the lowermost HW spot have the side margins marked by sharp black spots.
    The paler underside is also a feature as well as the larger black patch on the abdominal end.

    Other examples.

    No wonder it looks strange for a Telicota.

    TL Seow: Cheers.
