Lycaenidae species collection

There's an article in CP's Taiwanese link. Would make some interesting reading if we knew what the article was about... Maybe our specimen here is also the Philippine subspecies instead of the Malaysian one?

Lu CC and Hsu YF. 2002. Catopyrops ancyra almora, a lycaenid butterfly new to Taiwan: a case of biological invasion from the Philippines. BioFormosa 37:25-30.

Ya... the Aussie link that I posted earlier will bring you to the Japanese Jamides website showing the same photos.

Another one, not sure if it's the same species. But was shot on the same day as above. The upperside description mentioned on my previous post is actually for this one.

Shot in CCA on 4th April 2007.

wong, for yr post #29, the marking as well as the big black eyes looks similar to the Dark Caerulean, you may want to double check.

Looks like it but quality too poor to ascertain. Need more onsite survey.

Looking at post No.28, I think it looks like Rounded 6-line blue now. And no.29 could be Dark caerulean, another known species. But could the host plant for both exist in PRP mangrove area?, I dunno...

No clue after going thru C&P 4 and the net for 2 hours trying to pin this guy down.

Does not match any in the checklist , closest are as shown.

Khew, over to you....
