Kubah NP

David, great photos, as usual. The Laxita is wonderful, and, as Seow says, the P. prexaspes ssp. is unusual.

There are 3 photos I am hoping you will show, if only to confirm ID, namely numbers 18, 107 and 138 on the 1000a folder.

Grahium ramaceus ramaceus from Borneo.
Note this is the upperside. The white is reduced on the underside.

Eurema tominia from Sulawesi. It is very similar to E. tilaha(Java) & E. nicevillei.
Note the variability of the black borders in the 2 specimen 1 & 2.
The Bornean race could have even less black.

The 2nd Eurema is Eurema hecabe latilimbata, the Bornean/Sumatran subspecies.
(2 cell spots ; wide black border.)
The name latilimbata means wide-bordered.

TL Seow:cheers:

Thanks, Aaron and Les. Les, I will be posting those photos.

Paralaxita damajanti (thanks, Seow)

I flushed a few of these big Lyssa along the trail.

I found this Banded Swallowtail (Papilio demolion) while looking for reptiles on a night walk along the trail. For once, it was not moving!

Hi David, nice and interesting records! Thanks for sharing:)

Faunis stomphax was seen once.

Faunis kirata (thanks, Aaron and Seow)
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...00b/faun10.jpg


The colour and pattern on this Faun seemed unusual to me. It is probably a local race of Faunis gracilis. (thanks, Seow)

Saturn (Zeuxidia amethystus)

A few barons were observed in the forest. These don't have much white on the lower wings. Tanaecia aruna (thanks, Aaron and Seow)

Streaked Blue Brilliant (Simiskina pheretia). (thanks, Seow). This beautiful wing had fallen onto the trail. I've never seen the species before. It looked to be a very nicely marked lycaenid.

Thanks for the feedback, EC Goh.

Seow, thanks for info and links.


Regards,

2nd faun might be a Faunis kirata. Not sure about this one.
The fallen wings are amazing, they seem to belong to a Deramas sp. that had an unfortunate encounter with some predator. Lucky you for spotting them:D:redbounce
Baron could be a Tanaecia aruna and orange lycaenid is Manto hypoleuca
Always glad to see lycaenids.:)

so many new butterflies in just a few days,Amazing!
you inspire me.:bsmile:

The Terinos sp. has to be the local ssp. of T .terpander, it is actually very similar to the ssp. found in Cambodia . The shape of the hindwing confirms this.

The Lycaenid is one of the three I asked you to post. I had an idea, but I have not actually seen this in the wild. That ID was what I had suspected, but was not sure enough to say so.

The Orange Faun is the second of them. It is the spots that worry me, particularly the forewing spot in space 1b.
