Requesting confirmation for these Burara spp which I am able to guess, thanks to the ID keys I got from one of the discussion in this forum.

1. B. harisa? HW orange cilia reaching vein 5.
26704

2a.
26705
2b.
26706

3.
26707

4.
26708

2 - 4, B. anadi? I think they satisfy these keys:
HW discal patch composed of streaks including in space 7.
HW orange cilia reaching vein 7.
But they look quite bright. That confuses me.

Regards
Aomoa

2, 3, & 4 are fairly typical Burara oedipodea belesis.
HW patch is solid & placed away from the cellend.

The orange cilia varies a bit .& especially in different subspecies.

Burara harisa consobrina P. Malaysia & S. Thailand the HW patch is more obviously streaky.

B. jaina FW white cellspot may be absent ,HW orange cilia reaching at least v. 7. space 7 usually clear of pale streak. Abdominal end broadly orange.
This differentiate from B. harisa.
Additional note; Ssp jaina have a UnF white cellspot. ;Ssp fergusoni (S. India) lacks this spot. UnF apical zone not distinctly paler.
