Thanks Loke! Yes, the Palpi didn't appear normal, might due to genetic defects...

The strange palpi don't seem to affect it though, since the first picture shows it feeding normally...
Thanks Jon!

I think it is fair to leave it as you have labelled it.
Yutaka have shown that two taxa bhavara & malayana overlaps in a large area in Inddochina.
However, it is not as simple as that.
The difference between the two appeared to be very slight.
Taxon bhavara have a duller weaker blue-green sheen & the white band tends to have streaky outer margin.
Taxon malayana have deeper blue sheen & a thin white band.
There are individual variations & it can be difficult to be sure which is what.

There is no consensus at the moment & many authors do not accept malayana as a full species.
Eg. as stated in Yutaka H. malayana is found in HK (ie. no taminatus there) but the the Hasora there is called H. taminatus.

Sad for the damaged wings, otherwise pristine specimen.
Dr Seow, need your help with the ID, thanks!

Fairly typical for a female Nacaduba sanaya.
Singapore actually have another 4 species of FourLine Blues recorded, eg N. hermus, subperusia, pendleburyi & russelli, but I have seen no sign or possibility.

Thanks Dr Seow for the ID. My first encounter with the Jewel Fourline Blue (Nacaduba sanaya elioti), though torn hind wings!Quote:

Last should be male Telicota besta bina.
The Telicotas are confusingly similar on the underside.
Here the HW veins are lightly darkened (usually so in besta, not in augias) ground colour yellowish (deep orange in augias).
This shot by Federick is a classic male T. augias.
Note deep orange colour although worn, HW band poorly contrasted; abdomen same orange as wing colour. (All female Telicotas have a paler abdomen.)

A Thai specimen.
http://www.neutron.phys.ethz.ch/Lepi...e/IMG_2332.JPG
I ID'ed this (below) as augias, but now looking at it I think it should be besta.(Correction: Since HW veins not darkened, more likely linna.)
Note yellower colour, HW band well contrasted; paler abdomen.

Telicota colon male.
This is readily identified by the FW spots which are strongly indented (concave) on the sides ,staggered positions & little overlap between spots 3 & 4.
Polytremis lubricans male.
Again readily ID'ed by the rich ochreous brown colour & the HW hyaline spots typically one big in space 4 & one small in space 5.
TL Seow :Cheers.

Wow! Congrats :thumbsup:
:omg::omg::omg::omg:
Congrats Uncle Cher Hern!!! :cheers:
I didn't know it was still around!
Tomorrow we all chiong there! :bsmile:
Well done, Cher Hern. My last record of it flying the wild was in May 2000. After that, it was not seen again until now. :cheers:
Well done and congrats, Cher Hern. :cheers:
Thanks Master Khew, it was a lucky shot...thinking that it's either Leopard Lacewing or Malay Lacewing. After confirming with you, it's nowhere to be seen...scary!Quote:
