    Default P. sandaka or hordonia?

    Dr Seow, the marginal orange streak seems to widen at the apical area of the forewing compared to those P. sandaka that I recently shot. Is this also P. sandaka?

    This is a female P. sandaka.
    The FW grey band is broken into pieces.
    P. sandaka seem to have more prominent FW submarginal orange band.

    P. hordonia from p. Malaysia.
    Males.

    There are many females in Singapore with an uncertain look but no confirmed male hordonia have been found.

    My assumption is that P. hordonia may be extinct in Singapore.



    TL Seow : Cheers.
