    Post 4. Female P. bevani.
    After reading Evans there is a lot of variations in both species .
    None of the stated features can be absolute.
    Some revision of the description is necessary.

    Borbo cinnara: UpF typically with a large non-hyaline spot in space 1b; Spots 2 & 3 usually with strongly concave outer margins, variable.
    UnH with the cilia basally dark in male , wholly dark in female.

    Pseudoborbo bevani.More golden brown; UpF with the spot in space 1b absent or vestigial/tiny ; Spots 2 & 3 often rounded but variable ;nos. of spots may be reduced.
    UnH with the cilia uniformly light in both sexes; male usually have a pale area on the antenna.

    Default Caltoris Kumara?

    Could this be Caltoris Kumara Dr Seow? Both photos of the same individual. Shot in our garden, Mangalore, Coastal Area of Karnataka State, India September 2018

    Wings are broad, only two supapical spots in FW, Spot 2,3,4 almost equidistant. Apparently no spot on UNH

    Yes this looks like Caltoris kumara.
    Larger size FW- 20mm rounder wings. Antennal club slimmer vs Borbo & Parnara.
    Underside HW with an ochreous overlay (appear as a speckling).
    Male C. kumara with 2 subapical spots.

    Baoris have similar antennae but UnH without ochreous overlay.
    B. chapmani subapical 1 or none. darker.
