1 Telicota colon male.
Now easily ID'ed by the arrangement of the forewing spots in space 3 (Hidden) 4 & 5.(ie spot 3 4 & 5). they are staggered & in a slant. The two visible ones (4 & 5) often misshapen; little overlap between spot 3 & 4.

2 Telicota linna female.
The only female here in which the veins across the hindwing band not darkened.

3. ? Telicota augias female.
Veins on the hindwing are lightly darkened. The besta female has the hindwing a greenish ochre which in photo gives a lighter more yellow tone.

4. Telicota besta male.
The veins across the hindwing are distinctly darkened.
Note the shape of spots 4 & 5 on the forewing compared to colon. Also the wide overlap of spot 4 with spot 3 (partly hidden).

5. Telicota besta male as above.
