This is definitely a +1 for me on Samui, as I had only previously found Tajuria cippus here, and this was smaller.

I originally thought it may be Tajuria dominus dominus, but now I am not sure, and as I do not have any resources with me, I can not check.

What with the Purlisa gigantea, the two Horaga species and now this, on top of the new finds on KP, this has been a great week, but only butterflywise!!!

It is Tajuria dominus.

Thankfully the key lines were easier to follow than expected.

Key line 4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 26(postdiscal line closer to end-cell- see pic 2), 27/28.

Line 27 black spot in space 2 much larger than spot in space 1b. T. isaeus
Line 28 hindwing both black spots about equal. T. dominus.

This individual actually have the black spot in space 2 smaller than that in space 1b.

Thank you very much. Hopefully, I will be able to return home to my books, and follow the key lines, on Sunday!
