    Default Lasippa heliodore - confirmation of ID

    Only a single photo, and not a particularly good individual. From Mae Hong Son, extreme nw Thailand.
    The bulbous cell-end with a point, plus the shape of the lower forewing bar makes this look like Lasippa heliodore - a species I am not familiar with. Would that be a correct identification?
    Many thanks

    Pantoporia hordonia & sandaka have been much confused.
    It doesn/t help with wsf & dsf of both species. Dsf have wider orange markings.

    FW inner submarginal grey band wider than the orange band ; FW postdiscal band (with a round head) have a shorter extension ( the foot) running along the lower margin .

    Many thanks for that. Have also reviewed my Pantoporia hordonia & sandaka and surprised that they all look OK.
