Butterflies for ID, Phu Wiang North East Thailand

[guldsmed]

I had hoped I would be more self suffient this time, but as the book is still not out...

I have butterfly pics from Nam Nao (few), Phu Wiang (few), Khao Soi Dao (many), Khaeng Krachan (some) and Wonakorn Beach (few) this time.

I also have some odes and LOTS of moths (especially from Nam Nao and Phu Wiang, but also from the other sites).

I hope some of you guys will help me out again :whistle:

In this thread I will start with the Phu Wiang stuff, I have tentative IDs for some, but I did not do very well last tine, and I guess I will have made lots of errors again :sweat:

I start with a skipper and a small blue (2 pics of probably same individual)

3 easy ones (I hope...)

[guldsmed]

An easy one and a skipper and a blue, where I am clueless...

[guldsmed]

An easy one and two more unidentified skippers...

A satyrine and a very worn nymphaline (Cirrochroa? Vindula? or ???)

[guldsmed]

And the last ones from this area are Euploea spp., which several helpful persons here tried to give me a crash course in last time, lets see if I learned anything (or sure I did, but do I remember???)

Post 1
2. Should be Zizeeria karsandra. Forewing with cell spot; maha have prominent peripheral spots.

Post 3
1 is Catochrysops strabo. Note costal (forward margin) spot away from band.
2 is probably Pseudoborbo bevani. 3 spots in space 2,3, & 6; ochreous grpound; Borbo cinnara have greenish shading.

Post 4.
2 is probably Pelopidas conjunctus. 2 cell spots away from big spot in space 2; 3 subapical spots.
3 is a worn Badamia exclamationis.Long forewing; banded body.

Post 5.
1 probably right.
2 is Cirrochroa tyche. Broad silver band & upperside marks.

Post 6
1 is E. klugii. Forewing shape indicates eunice or klugii. E. eunice larger, darker with smaller spots.
2 should be E. modesta. Very difficult but hindwing with cell spot ; submarginal spots large, forewing shape. (possibles are core(apex with dots), midamus sylvester & algea.See

3 is correct.

Amazing how you folks are always ready to help here :thumbsup:

What about my own suggestions, you do not comment on them, does that mean I got lucky this time?

One out of three Euploea correct is a definite improvement :bsmile:

You could be right that no. 2 post 6 is E. core. The series of larger spots near the hindwing margin match E. core better than modesta, but all the pics show at least some small spots on the forewing apex.

At least i am not far off, they seem to be quite difficult, though. I tend to believe your suggestion better than my own. if anyone else have opinions about this I would be happy to hear them.

Else I will file it as probably modesta but possibly core :-)

[Painted Jezebel]

The ones you named are correct. However, please note that it is Hebomoia, not Hebomola.

I also suspected that the Crow was E. modesta.

Thx a lot to both of you!

That was the easy part....
