Endau Rompin (Selai) - May Day weekend

Everyone's photos are so much better than mine, so I will limit myself with photos of species not shown before (with a couple of exceptions).

Firstly, the Yeomen of the Guard (Gilbert & Sullivan light opera)

1) Cirrochroa satellita satellita (Satellite Yeoman)
2) Cirrochroa orissa orissa (Yellow-Banded Yeoman)
3) Cirrochroa emelea emelea (Malay Yeoman), with attendant Phalanta alcippe alcesta (Small Leopard)
4) Cirrochroa tyche rotundata (Common Yeoman)

to be cont....

....... cont

And the rest

1&2) Amblypodia narada taooana - male (Blue Leaf Blue)
3) Lotongus calathus calathus (White tipped Palmer) - it never got used to the flash!
4) Rachana jalindra burbona (Banded Royal) - male (very distant and heavily cropped shot, so just for record purposes).
5) Allotinus horsfieldi permangus (Common Darkie) - a large species
6) I need help with this one. I know that Terinos clarissa malayana (Malayan Assyrian) was present, but this one appears to have a much less ornate underside, could it possibly be Terinos adita teuthras (Large Assyrian)- female? Awful photo, but needs to be shown for ID.

Arhopalas to follow if or when I can ID them!

Well done Les, glad to see so many new finds this trip. Especially Cirrochroa, they are quite similar for newbie like me. :bsmile:

Continue with uploading my pics...

Yet to check other pics.... Busy preparing for my Taiwan trip... but no shooting, work! work! work! :cry:

I am reasonably sure of it. It appears to have more in common with that than A. albina, wet season form.

Well done Bobby. I missed the Zebra.

Thanks Philip. Damn, I think you are right:embrass: . I was misled by the very small size of the specimen and the broader postdiscal brown band on the forewing. However, on closer inspection, the hindwing marginal and tornal markings are more like Rachana jalindra burbona. I am changing the post accordingly. Sorry about the confusion everyone!

Nice series guys. The Yeoman family is pretty decent! Very nice open winged series. :cheers:

Those mapwings look very splendid too. Ah, its so tempting to go there!!!!
