    Dear Dr Seow,
    Pls see the photo on the right whether if it's Vindula dejone or Vindula erota?

    It is a female Vindula dejone.

    The FW cellend is marked by a series of very fine lines 2-3 in number.


    Vindula dejone.
    FW discal fascia is composed of straight streaks which runs parallel to the cellend lines.

    Vindula erota.
    FW discal fascia is composed of curved streaks (lunules) which runs closer to the cellend at the upper costal end.
    Female with more extensive white shadings.

    I'm posting a female that I shot at Chiangdao in Thailand for comparison. Is this typical V. erota?
