Arhopala Collection for ID

[Commander]

Thanks, TK. Looks like more attention has to be paid to these little 'brown jobs'. I'll send pics of some specimens that I did not have any confidence in ID'ing to you. All were captured during the 1997-2003 period in our nature reserves during the NParks surveys.

I had a specimen that I'd tentatively ID'ed as A. wildeyana - a very small specimen that corresponds to what Ben Jin found. It may be a better one for you to examine especially when there are uppersides to see.

Maybe we shall wait till 2011, and push the checklist past the 300 mark.

It will be interesting to see other examples of A. wildeyana. Although A. wildeyana is so distinctive in its large rounded spots, the pics in C&P4 did not strike a chord as they looked quite different.
