    Default Thailand butterflies ID

    Hi Dr. Seow,

    I recently went on a trip to West Thailand, Thong Pha Phum, Kanchanaburi.

    Could I seek your assistance to help ID the following butterflies which I got stuck with. Thanks in advance!

    1. Koruthaialos sp.? Not sure which one though.

    Thanks Dr Seow!

    Have another set of butterflies to verify/ID.

    6a. Reached Allotinus taras by eliminating the other species. Not sure if it is accurate.

    6b. Not sure if same species as 6a but this individual was found in the same area about 15 minutes apart.

    7. I think this is a Scobura sp. but can't get to species.
