    Thank you. I did not mention Z. ogygia as, according to C&P4, the hindwing is unicolorous, whereas that of Z. ogygioides has 'the post-discal spots well marked'.

    I had wondered about this key, as I have seen photos stated as Z. ogygia with these spots, but C&P4 is the best 'bible' I have!

    Both species have the potential of being here.

    C&P4 was trying to differentiate the even ground colour of ogygia (line 6) from the patchy ground colour of doxus (line 7).

    I see. Thank you for this clarification on the key. Looks like I will have to change a couple of things. At least it will mean one less species without a photo.

    The last one could be Thoressa..kindly check with your available literature..where was it taken? can any one update the Zographetus caterpillar images from Igarashi volume 2?

    It is too different, with the white-clubbed antennae , to consider Thoressa.
    Koh Samui is an island in peninsular Thailand.

    I have not been able to find any record of any Thoressa species being found in the Peninsular.

    I feel happy with it being Z. ogygia.
