    4 & 5. Koruthaialos sindu.

    The two K. sindu & rubecula are frequently confused & there are numerous misIDs on the web.
    Two very reliable features are present.

    K. sindu. Labial palp 3rd segment shrt , like a conical knob. Orange band's outer border with a mid indentation or notch.

    There is probably some gene introgression from N. hylas causing the colour change.
