Quite difficult to ID skippers based on one view.

The IDs are most likely coorect.

1 Pelopidas sinensis. Antenna with a white patch underneath, below the club ;FW spots pale buff. FW cellspots close.
http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/med...a5988941-1.jpg
Similar .
P. assamensis FW spots white & antenna broadly white-banded.
http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/med...akar_ap010.jpg
P. conjunctus ;FW spots yellow & antenna with a paler patch (not white), below the club.
http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/med...Saji_ac767.jpg

2. Koruthaialos rubecula.FW orange band not reaching costa (forward margin).

3. Pithauria stramineipennis. Body & wingbases with greenish greyish ochre shading ;antenna tip orange.

4. Borbo bevani; FW spots rounded ; Spot at space 1b absent or vague .(Only the right FW have a vague spot).
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wq1AMjvEq0...%E7%BF%852.jpg
http://image.digitalarchives.tw/Imag...0/24/a1/f8.jpg
similar Borbo cinnara.
FW spots 2c & 3 crescentic; Spot in space 1b always present & sharp.
http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/med...Saji_ad956.jpg
Parnara ganga is also very similar, the FW cellspot may be present or absent, but the antennal clubs are thick & black.

5. Potanthus palnia; FW spot 5 smaller than spot 4; thorax dull & darker.

Thx a lot Seow!

Another batch of in-ID'ed hesperiids, the last batch (out of three I mostly have suggestions for...):

POst 3.

1. Notocrypta clavata.:reasily ID'ed by the underside band extending broadlt to the costal margin & lack of a spot in space 4.

2. This belong to a pair of sibling species whose separation based on external features are unknown.
Tentatively as H. wantona. narrower series of HW spots.

Presumptive H. pelethronix :broader series of HW dark spots.

3. Upperside of H. wantona/pelethronix.


4. Pseudocoladenia dan fabia; The horseshoe shape FW cellspot ID'ed this genus.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/90640040.html
Another species have the FW cellspot less notched & the discal spots clustered together.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/90640020.html

5. There are two similarly marked species lacking an orange triangular patch at the base of FW space 2.
T. besta male showing the triangular orange patch at the base of FW space 2 .(Also in males of T. augias & colon.)
https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/56/186...f94f8404_b.jpg

a. T. linna :Large FW 18-19 mm. longer ;FW band relatively narrower.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wU0gNp51E3...Horace-Tan.jpg
https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qDEk4MIq_...TL_male_05.jpg

b. T. bambusae :Smaller FW shorter 14-15 mm. FW band relatively broad; HW band outer margins more indented.
http://www.flutters.org/home/photoga...hish-tiple.jpg
http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/med...216e2346-1.jpg


It is probably T. linna
T. linna is becoming more common in SE Asia. In Bangladesh it is stated to be the commonest Telicota.

Fantastic Seow, I am so grateful for your help, but during the years that I have received your aid, I think I have used up all phrases I know for expressing it - Anyway Thx again!

Here are the last of my problem hesperiids:

This one I have no guess for:

Namtok Monta Tan_20180212_58DSC_9438_DxO by Jan Fischer Rasmussen, on Flickr

Tentative ID: Tagiades japetus ssp. ravi

Seseria strigata, I think:

1 Scobura phiditia.

The rest are correct.

2. Tagiades japetus ravi.

3. Seseria strigata.The HW series of black spots is dislocated.
https://wingscales.com/Hesperiidae/Seseria-strigata
Similar .S. affinis ;HW series of balck spots not dislocated; white patch rounder.
https://wingscales.com/Hesperiidae/S...ffinis-kirmana

4. Gerosis phisara phisara. Markings variable in extent.
http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/sp/671/Gerosis-phisara

5. Matapa aria.
M. druna is very similar but the HW cilia is strongly orange.

Thx and cheers to you too

But I have problems in other families as well... My own suggestions for the first are in the filenames

Yasoda tripunctata ssp. tripunctata - Namtok Siribhum_20180208_1223_DSC_8735_DxO by Jan Fischer Rasmussen, on Flickr

Remelana jangala ssp. ravata - Namtok Monta Tan_20180212_120DSC_9348_DxO by Jan Fischer Rasmussen, on Flickr

This damaged beauty I do not know

Post 7.

1 Yasoda tripunctata tripunctata.
https://wingscales.com/content/record/636-1-ce5e6.jpg
Ssp. atrinotata seems to be darker with blackish tails.

2. Ramelana jangala ravata.

3. Simiskina phalia potina. More often blue.
Two Simiskina extend into N. Thailand.

Simiskina pheretia pheretia.Malaya.
https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GUjcNN3w6...0/DSC_2367.JPG

4. Cheritra freja evansi. What appears to be extra spots on the HW are injury marks. : Correction: Ticherra acte.
The extend of the white varies.
Ssp evansi is often mostly brownish on the underside.

TL Seow: Cheers.

[guldsmed]

At least my two suggestions were right then - thx again

[atronox]

Shouldn't the last Lycaenid be Ticherra acte? C. freja isn't so orange. The white spots seem aberrant
