Pygmy Posy or dwaf Common Posy?

[Banded Yeoman]

Yeah definitely. They're very closely related and D. rufotaenia is quite rare, so they may be forced to take the common D. ravindra as mates.

Yup, Aaron, that was what I noticed in the drupadia in the first pic, the orange scaling on the outer edge of HW space 6 is extensive but its mini size and the 2 black bands forming a 'V' got me confused of the ID... but that was before I came to know that both M and F of the rufotaenia are actually brown on the upperside! :P :P

Now the question is...are these intermediates a result of genetic introgression between these 2 species

Oh whoops sorry, didn't see that! Was this pygmy found at USR?

Yes, Aaron, at USR, as mentioned in my first post
