Rapala scintilla!! Your images show Dr Seow's description of "blue-shot hindwings and steely blue forewings" very beautifully. From photographs of the set specimens it is impossible to see these subtleties in colouration.
While it is clear that the uppersides of these male Rapala are vital for identifying them, I was wondering... what if we're dealing with females? Many of them are a featureless brown above. (Or, are there differences that I'm simply overlooking?)
Is there any species with the name Fujiokaozephyrus camrius?
If yes, is it synonymous with E. camrius?
Any info available on it?
As long as the species name camurius is the same it is the same butterfly.
Murayama first name camurius as Ezakiozephyrus camurius in 1986.
Fujioka placed camurius as a subspecies of tsangkie in the genus Teratzephyrus ie as T. tsangkie camurius in 1994.
Huang in 2001 restore camurius as a full species, ie Teratozephyrus camurius.
This would be fairly typical for Pseudoborbo bevani.
There are a lot of mixed up with the two species , that sometimes it is difficult to tell which is right.
Pseudoborbo bevani.
More golden brown ;FW typically one cellspot; spot 2 & 3 more rounded ;spot in space 1b poor or absent.
UnH with the spots not sharply defined.
Antennal with more prominent pale area.
