Another female skipper from Khao Luang, southern Thailand, photographed at 900 metres.

The apparent lack of cell spots in the upper wing implies to me this should be a Caltoris or Parnara species. The underwing appears unmarked.

However, the three well marked spots in the forewing apex apparently seem to rule this out.

Is this possibly Baoris farri?

Assistance to narrow this down to genus appreciated.
With thanks.

It look like another female C. kumara.


Baoris farri is large & the FW cell is almost always fully spotted.

Many thanks. I had half thought that, but was concerned about the prominence of the spots in the apex.
