Dr. Seow request your input on this skipper, a member asked what skipper is this ?

My half-passed-6 skipper identification says it is a Potanthus trachala tytleri ( Detached Dart )



Thanks!

Its more than half past six, Sunny. You have it right.
The overlap between spot 3 & 4 is very little.
I am using the underside of this P. cofucius from Taiwan for comparison. ( no pseudomaesa or trachala there , so it is correct.)

This is an eye-opener.
I have been assuming BC member would knew trachala as something not omaha/ganda type by the size. But what if the size is forgotten or not sure.
Some of Brian's recent ' P. confucius ' need rechecking.

Seow , a misplaced smiley causes a mis-direction of the link, I have corrected it and it is working fine now.

Thanks Sunny for the correction.
I didn't put a smiley. It must have been activated as the pointer passed over it. The touchpad can be sensitive.
I remembered an incident in the past when a thumbdown appeared with the comment making it appeared rude.
