Hi Dr Seow,
For post 63. a), the size of the skipper I shot was not around the size of P. omaha but quite abit larger.
Not sure if it helps but I have a shot of the upperside as well.

In additional, I have another Telicota to verify.
I am hoping it is T. linna.
Veins with no dark dusting, face and underside of body seems to be quite pale compared to the rest?

Thank you!

The upperside shows it is not P. serina.
The FW veins crossing the band on the upperside of P. serina are strongly darken.
P. serina.

It is also not going to be P. juno or lydia (a highland species).
I will leave it as P. mingo as the most likely possibility.
The second is correctly Telicota linna female.
TL Seow: Cheers.

Thanks Dr Seow!
Could the following be Pothanthus trachala then?
FW spots 4 and 5 seems to be detached from other spots? UnFW spots 4 and 5 connected by spikes?
