Thank you very much, Dr Seow.
Dr Seow, some amendments I'd like to suggest:
Post 1, no 4)
Bothrinia chennellii celastroides
Much larger species and distinctive.
Post 2, no. 9)
Monodontides musina musinoides
Another distinctive species; note the sub-basal spot in HW space 1b.
cheers

You are right on both counts.
No. 4 did not look right as Zizina otis.
I do not have Pisuth 's book for a quick check.
It would be quite tedious to go through genus by genus from Yutaka.

Post 2, no. 9. I recall another genus with a basal spot in space 7 but not sure which.
Again quite tedious to check through as Yutaka provide no image of this species.
The basal spot in space 7 is larger in Acytolepis.

If you already figure out the species , go ahead & post it.
Don't wait for me to figure it out.
I work it through methodically but skipping a step usually result in an error as here.
TL Seow ;Cheers.
