Which pupa?

Found this small (1 1/2cm long) pupa attached to a coconut palm frond. Any idea of ID?

One of the Hesperiidae for sure... but you already know that... ;P

probably I'm wrong, but got a feel that this is a moth pupae

Quite right, SC. This pretty little moth eclosed today. Could I have an ID please.

Could this thread be moved to the Moth section. Thanks

Moved. Over to Roger for his advice.

Got me fooled there... sure looks similar to some of the Skipper pupae in Igarashi. :embrass:

Atteva sp.

Yponomeutidae.

no records of this genus using coconut palms as a host plant on the BMNH's HOSTS database.

Atteva is a rather small genus that is in need of revision; most records in S.E.Asia are of A. fabriciella (or misidentifications thereof). When I checked the genus to try an identify two species that are found in Hong Kong, I couldn't make much of the series in the BMNH, London, which is a mixture of species.

cheers,

Roger.

Thanks Roger. I can't confirm the coconut as hostplant as we did not see a cat feeding, only the pupa.
