Skipper ID please
Hi Dr Seow,
Please help ID this skipper. It was shot in Upper Seletar Reservoir last year. I hope the two other shots would help with the ID. I do apologise they are blurry though.

Hi Dr Seow,
Is this one of the Baoris, please?
It was shot in Dairy Farm Nature Park.
Thanks,

From the abdominal end it is a female.
The antennal club has a pale area which is normally invisible in Baoris.
Also Baoris female has a more elongate body; a pale mark at HW cellend; more curved FW.
Female B. oceia.

1 & 2 Permara pugnans . Very worn.
The finely speckled ground pattern can still be seen.
The long thin tapering black antenna is a helpful hint.

3. Athyma kanwa .
The triangular cellend spot with its lower margin in line with the thin cellular bar is characteristic.
