Aaron you bet I haven't even gotten into the really good stuff yet.
But I have to say, before you get your hopes TOO high, we shot nothing on the level of Poritia plateni or Stibochiona schoenbergi.

Great shots, Jonathan! Glad you enjoyed the trip!
Dr Seow, are you aware of a Symbrenthia that is black and white? We encountered one at Mahua and I could not find any sources to show that there is a white form of this species. Do you have any info on such a form? I will post it later. Unfortunately, it was quite tattered.

The female of the taxon javanus is black & white.
In several sites this has been labelled as Symbrenthia lilaea javanus.

In C&P4, Eliot states S. lilaea only extend to Neomalaya (ie Sumatra ,Malaya & Borneo) excluding Java.
This means the species in Java is S. hippoclus.
This is also stated in Funet.

The range of S. h. javanus include Java ,Bali & Borneo.
