Need your help

[Painted Jezebel]

I went to a check on a new area today, as 2 of my original survey sites have been dug up for development! I came across the attached, which, while I think I know what they are, I need confirmation, as if I am right, then it will be a +3 for my list. I will not say what I think they are as it might prejudice your own thoughts. I apologise for the quality of the photos, but they would not let me near, and I don't have a zoom lens at present.

251+?

SC and Les,

I have doubts of #3 being an Abisara Kausambi

Basing on the followings.

1.fore wing discal patch is very diffused.

2. hind wing is pointed and flared.... a characteristic of the female Plum Judy observed many times in the field and recorded

My bet is #3 is a Female Abisara saturata kausambioides (Malayan Plum Judy)


refer here for some comparison : ID an abisara

Interesting! I have already found A. saturata maya here, and now a second subspecies? How varied is the white apical/subapical patch? In my specimen the dark postdiscal line is uninterrupted. I think I need to find some more specimens!
