Miletus gopara gopara (female) This is compared to Pisuth's book.

Rapala domitia flemingi (Yellow Flash) Apparently the colour is so wash out that the butterfly is almost white, and for a moment I thought it was a new specie.

Good catch on the Yellow Flash with smooth natural background :thumbsup:
Thanks for the effort to ID M. gopara which is not in the checklist.

Sorry for the confusion.
I mean there is no photo on the checklist for this species :)

Can anyone share the ID keys for M. gopara gopara?

Thanks for the feedback and comments. The Miltetus gopara gopara may not be what it is given the fact there are so many look alike, although the hind wings have a very distinguish shape which is closest to the female of this specie as in the Butterflies of Thailand bookby Pisuth. Will be looking futher into this specie. Regarding the YF, I missed a prestine one as I was concentrating on a Flos fulgida singhapura.

I remember that there was n earlier thread with miletus gopara gopara bt the checklist was not updated. Mr Khew also shot a nacaduba beroe neon in this thread (http://b-pals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=455)bt it wasn't updated too.
