I am reviewing all my difficult Oriens and Potanthus lookalike skippers, as I am pretty sure I have a number incorrect. It would be good to have a number of confirmed identifications as a baseline to compare against. The following three individuals (3 shots of each) were taken from various locations (indicated below) in Thailand and I currently have them down as Oriens goloides. However, on reexamination I think Oriens gola more likely. (Based on the black veins). I would be really grateful for confirmation on the identifications.
With thanks.
