Neope pulaha.

The two species N. pulaha & pulahoides are confusingly similar.
The white markings are wider in DSF.
Evans[ statement that the FW cellend white band exrend fully across the cell in pulahoides but not in pulaha also does not work.


N. pulaha ;HW basak & central area darkened in a squarish pattern.
The markings are less defined in it.

N. pulahoides; HW without a noticeable defined dark zone in the basal & central areas.

Colour plate XIX Note the dark HW zones in both ssp of N. pulaha.
