Orange Skipper Collection I - Telicota spp

[Commander]

The Taractrocera genus has a unique characteristic of not having the usual apiculus of the Hesperiidae. In your shot, there is a hint of this 'hook' on the right antennae of the specimen, which rules out Taractrocera.

Do you have another shot showing the antennae more clearly? Particular the tip of the club?

You may have realised from my original wording that I was not particularly confident with my tentative ID of this one.

Sorry, taken with my old box brownie, so pic is very heavily cropped, and the only one I have. However, enlarged as far as poss, which shows what you mean to anyone who does not know the apiculus.

This leads me to ask, what is it then, as I've discarded all the Potanthus?
