Dr Seow, Aaron, a few more arhopala for consideration, though I believe these are fairly typical.


1) A. epimuta



2) A. pseudomuta male



3) A. pseudomuta female



4) A. muta / moorei, likely muta. This one was definitely on the larger side for a muta-subgroup Arhopala, making me believe it is more likely to be a male A. muta.





Finally, a Zographetus ogygia.

1. A. epimuta . Note white HW tornal spot.

2. A. pseudomuta male (shorter palpi, straighter FW margin.)
3 female.
The markings are more contrasted than usual ,suggesting some gene introgression ( cross bleeding).

Typical A. pseudomuta , Singapore .Markings not well contrasted; HW spot 6 quadrate, submarginal band continuous.

4. Hard to tell which. The lighter blue with hint of green suggest A. muta.
It is stated in Fleming the FW border is wider than that on the HW in A. moorei male.

Uncle Seow, thanks for the pointers! The two A. pseudomuta where observed within the same area. It seems to be the typical form found around there.

Aaron, thanks! It appears that they are found from time to time at USR. As for mine... Well, you know where it was shot.
