Very small size, among the smallest. Looks A.ariana but IMHO is not.

A. aurelia- a member of the alea subgroup; slatey pink wash gives it away

Was about 15 mm size. Saw a few of them.

Aurelia is larger

That is very small. Wonder what it could be...

This is the same as previously ID'ed as A. selta.

It may simply be a dwarf example.

TL Seow: Cheers.

Thanks! Look like selta. Saw few of them, all small
