Many thanks once again, sir. This one looks like Pithauria murdava at first glance, however looking closer, it looks like a darker form of Pithauria stramineipennis. Central Nepal, and P. murdava was recorded from the east only. All my P. stramineipennis have prolific straw colored clothing on FW and HW unlike in this one.
Sir, could you look at this Melanitis? It is monsoon here, and these species are supposed to be WSF. But this one is weird. It's either a DSF M. leda or Melanitis zitenius zitenius which I've never seen and is supposed to be found in the east only. Can we get dsf in monsoon? Found near paddy field like any Melanitis.
A rough Google translation yield only the base is moss green like C. oreas.
Evans also describe this as C. ladonides gigas.
It so happens both these two have more greenish bases.
See link below for both species. http://www.lycaenidae.gmxhome.de/Lyc...rina-index.htm
From the BOI website the only other diffrent Celastrina has to be C. gigas.
