    Post 140.

    It should be Y. avanta.
    The lower 3 spots are in a straight line.

    In the other similar 5 rings, Y. baldus, affectata, & persimilis the lower 3 ocelli are out of line.

    Sir, I just realized this could be a Sovia grahami.

    Quite right.
    Long body & gradual antenna.


    I thought all Sovia were heavily spotted like S. albipecta.

    Both Sovia lucasi & separata have chequered cilia.

    The underside of S. grahami is stated to be ochreous brown in FW apex costa & HW.

    The underside of S. malta FW apex, costa & HW is ferruginous ie rusty brown.

    So it should be correctly S. grahami.

    Just wondering if the antenna apiculus color is correct. Heard S. grahami has white at club end.

    I forgot what was discussed later.

    It can not be S. grahami.
    S. grahami have black antennae & white spots. This pic compared to valid images is correct.

    The salient point is the large yellow subapical spots which matches P. pandita but the antenna club appear too long.

    Sir, could you look at these Caltoris please? I believe the third one is Caltoris cahira which is common in Nepal and has brown underside but the other ones have almost reddish undersides.

    I presumed you are certain that 1a & 1b are the same insect since the colour difference is quite marked.

    I will go thru the Caltoris with two FW cellspots again.

    C. bromus ;FW UnF usually a spot 1b (Evans state always but ths is not true.)
    UnH dark brown overlaid with ochreous scales; Female may have spots in space 2 & 3.

    Male showing no UpF spot 1b but a UnF spot 1b.

    1st male Taiwan with upper FW cellspot missing. (Note Taiwan have only two species C. bromus & cahira. Correction: a 3rd C. ranrunna is known.))

    C. chimdroa ; cilia bright yellow.


    C. sirius: UpF with a spot 1b in both sexes.
    UnH ochreous brown
    Probable Caltoris sirius. UpF & UnF shows a distinct spot 1b.
    C. bromus male occasionally shows a spot 1b UpF & below but it is diffuse.
    https://www.flickr.com/photos/266891...7624014448123/


    C. confusa ; Dark brown
    FW spots reduced especially upper cellspot & spot 3 may be absent.
    Probable C. confusa ,Arunachal Pradesh,
    There is a great reduction of spots ie upper cellspot is missing, spot 3 is tiny & subapical spot 7 a dot.
    The colour is not reddish as in C. cormasa, nor deep brown as in C. bromus or cahira .

    Post 147.

    1 should be C. bromus.
    Although there is no UnF spot 1b, the UnH brown is not dark enough in pic 1b to indicate C. cahira.


    2 is very unusual in that the 3 subapical spots are in line.
    FW upper cellspot is much reduced but this can happen in both C. bromus & cahira.
    The darke shading on UnH is uneven & much as in this male C. bromus.
    https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...e290e3d3-1.jpg
    Probably male C. bromus.


    3. UnF & UnH are evenly brown
    UnF spot 3 & upper cellspot are almost obsolete.
    Uncertain. Perhaps C. confusa.
