1.C. lohita.
In seliga the black tornal spot is red-rimmed on the inside margin but this is often folded over.
In addition, the male has the marginal areas sullied, & the HW submarginal band reaching the costa.
http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cigaritis_seliga#/media/File:CigaritisSeligaSeligaMFUpUnAC1.jpg

2. H.eventa. FW cross band rather irregular & colour dingier.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc4/81510001.html

5. A. paraganesa.

6. Dercas verhuelli.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/pie/20500010.html

The sundainian form in peninsular Thailand & Sundaland are separated as D. gobrias.
D. gobrias from Malaya.

Fed, where did you photograph the Heliophorus species? H. eventa is only known in Thailand from the extreme top of Doi Pha Hom Pok, though it is expected to be found at the extreme top of Doi Lang as well.

This one, from the top of Doi Pha Hom Pok, should be H. evanta, but upperside is the only safe difference

We spent 2 or 3 days shooting at Chiang Dao.
Let me begin with some shots.


2. Which Heliophorus?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/federickho/Chiang%20Dao%20March%202015/HFH9765%20Heliophorus%20sp%20_zpstdezei3f.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/federickho/media/Chiang%20Dao%20March%202015/HFH9765%20Heliophorus%20sp%20_zpstdezei3f.jpg.html )



Admittedly an upperside is needed for confirmation, but this pix has a good probability to be H. eventa.
Yutaka's male captured near the same area show two similar features.
1 The FW band is strongly undulate.
2. The HW red band's inner margin is less crenulate ,sullied & with the white lunules mostly obsolete.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc4/81510001.html

There are examples of H. brahma mogoka which look similar.
Below one which the FW band is slightly undulate & the HW band better defined.
http://khaoyaim2.exblog.jp/22058258


Post 4, Antonio pix is more typically H. brahma mogoka.
In the 3rd similar species H. androcles all valid examples with upper confirmation has the FW band nearer the cellend though this is unlikely to be absolute.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SapphireMunsiariUp.jpg
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Heliophorus_androcles#/media/File:SapphireMunsiariUn.jpg
(This gets very confusing : The website below shows androcles with extensive blue sheen, long HW red band, & underside FW band midway.)
http://blog.goo.ne.jp/gooaojyun/c/68f490c4035e4febac936a10b373868e/1

I 'm not sure of the underside of H. hybrida.
Tytler described the upperside as brassy green & the HW red band narrower than in brahma.
He suggest a possible hybrid of brahma & androcles.

It would look like the FW band's undulation is a red herring.

Then this observation is probably correct: The HW postdiscal band is strongly undulate in eventa & usually straight in brahma.

H. eventa from China.

H. brahma mogoka Thailand.

Only other 4-line blue without dark striae in band in which tornal black spot has metallic blue scales. The other is N. angusta.
(Two other with dark striae in the bands N. pavana & russelli also have metallic blue scales in the black spot.)

20. Jamides bochus bochus.
Spike in HW space 1b indicates Jamides; FW postdiscal band dislocated at all points.

22. Likely dsf Ypthima lisandra. HW spots may be obsolete in dsf.
HW twin dark bands widely separated .

Neptis soma shania.
The ID for N. soma states the FW submarginal spots curved in above vein 6 ie the upper three.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lim1/720180010.html

Neptis yerburii pandoces is now N. capnodes pandoces.
Smetacek 2011 had confirmed Eliot's suspicion that the type specimen of taxon yerburii ,a female is an extreme dsf of N. nata.
Taxon yerburii falls as a ssp of N. nata.
As taxa capnodes & pandoces (formerly as ssp of yerburii)have different male genitalia from N. nata, they are elevated to N. capnodes capnodes & N. capnodes pandoces.
Yutaka has follow suit.

Neptis capnodes pandoces has rather broad bands & the FW submarginals form an even curve at the top.

Yes, I should have thought if it is R. iarbus
Last few shots from my CM trip.

31. Two Nawabs - left should be Common Nawab (P. athamas athamas) and the right looks like P. arja arja ?

Post 19 31.
The one on the right is obviously P.arja.
The one on the left should be arja as well.
A line drawn along the outer margin of the FW band upwards will cut midway thru the discal spot.
In athamas it cut out most of the discal spot.
In addition the FW apex is rounder & the termen not so strongly concave as in athamas.

Compare with the one below in which a drawn line exclude most of the spot; FW apex sharp & termen more concave.

The warm setting have caused a strong yellow tone which is confusing.
The underside markings of the two species are practically identical.
