Final correction. It is P. ganda male after all.
The size or lenght of spot 8 is variable in all the Potanthus species.
The underside forewing of juno is similar to omaha except for undarkened veins, more excavated spot 2 & 3, and spot 8 always short.
The initial confusion was due to the fact that I have not seen the full underside forewing of P. ganda except for the little image in C&P4.
The zigzag forewing band was rather like that of the upperside of P. confucius & somewhat similar to P. trachala.

Thank you. So my original suspicion was, unfortunately, correct!:thumbsdow

Psolos fuligo -Hunchback appearance.
Notocrypta curvifascia. subapical spots ; band not reaching costa.
Unid 4 Potanthus omaha. Hindwing darkened veins.
Unid 3 Koruthaialos rubecula female. long palpi; band not reaching costa.
Unid 2 P. omaha hindwing dark veins visible.
Post 24.
Pyroneura perakana ; forewing without silver streak; reddish veins.
Tagiade.s gana mating pair.
Potanthus pair uncertain. forewing, overlap between spot 3 & 4.
Like P. ganda but hindwing dark spots excavate outer margin of band.
The hindwing is similar to P. trachala
( This is actually the same species that was Ided as P. ganda in Les' post 18 earlier. The problem is with spot 3. All valid examples of P. trachala in C&P4 , Fleming have this spot narrow (ie not elongate in shape as the one in post 18. However HK examples show an elongate spot.)
(Correction : Spot 3 is highly variable in shape.)

Mycaesis janardana.

Sorry I could not make it, but you have come back with some lovely photos. Pity about the weather again. The last two days here have been very sunny, but illness has prevented me from going out, not that there is much arround at the moment.
Congrats on the Great Red-veined Lancer (Pyroneura perakana perakana). I have never seen this one before, in fact I have never seen this Genus in the wild!

Thank you very much, TL Seow, for the prompt and precise identification of the several Hesperiidae! I hope soon to be able to ID the species myself!
Les, don't worry, I have an open issue with the Park and I'll go back soon!
I'll tell you a secret: 80% of the shot were made in the garden of the Morning Mist resort :embrass:
Only the last day I was able to go in the park walking up to the small house at the end of the interpretative trail, but not so many species in the forest. And a lot, a lot of water!

Beautiful shots. I really enjoyed viewing those.

Beautiful shots, Antonio :thumbsup:
Like the Large Snow Flat and Common Small Flat shots.
