Ah, I had thought I'd finished with these, but looking at previous replies to my earlier thread I think my tentative identifications may be incorrect in these four images. Could these be confirmed please.
Image 2. Neope sp? Dongzhai. I had thought N. muirheadii but the earlier comment about the white bar in that species is missing in this photo. unknown 2.JPG
Image 3. Neope sp? Donhzai. Same area as image 2, and looks like same species. unknown 3.JPG
Dongzhai on Hainan is at the same latitude with northern THailand.
Have a look at Celastrina argiolus ssp caphis Sichuan & ssp iynteana N. Thailand in the link below. http://www.lycaenidae.gmxhome.de/Lyc...rina-index.htm
In both subspecies the FW submarginal lunules in space 2 & 3 are darker than the lunules above ie space 4 ,5, & 6.
(Even the postdiscal spots are a bit darker but much less obvious.)
Your specimen is worn & the FW down so only submarginal spot 3 & above are visible.
The upper part of the legs (femurs & tibiae )appear whiter as in C. argiolus.
My guess it is 80% chance U. dilecta & 20% it might be C. argiolus.
Despite it being worn it is still too dak & grey to be Udara dilecta.
Most of the spots are actually white-ringed.
The leg banding is not reliable though C. lavendularis do have stronger banding. https://c1.staticflickr.com/6/5449/9...ec00d930_b.jpg
