I am confused by this name. Ssp. verena belongs to sp. Euthalia alpheda, but even then it is not found in Sundaland, only as far south as Kaeng Krachan.

The ssp. of E. alpheda found on Langkawi is E. a. langkawica. There is also another subspecies found in southern Thailand and Koh Tarutao, E. alpheda yamuna. Could these two be synonymous, as Yutaka says that the latter is also found in Malaysia?

Lovely shots everyone. It was nice to see Herona marathus angustata again, I have not seen it on Samui for 3-4 years!

Sorry Les. My mistake. It should be E. aconthea gurda after all. I was looking at E. alpheda verena in Pisuth's book, but that one is slightly different subapical spots from what I posted here. So it's the common Baron after all.

What about E. merta? Or is it something else? E. eriphylae?

Post 22.

Arhopala lurida.

There is no match if FW spot 4 is considered to be in line with spots 5, 6, & 9 above it.
Particularly in lurida, spot 4 is only slightly shifted out. ( Needs a good perpendicular shot.)

HW spots 4 & 5 are in line or slightly out. (strongly out of line/dislocated in A. atosia.)
Spots tend to larger , rounder & better contrasted than in atosia.

Thanks for the ID, Dr. Seow

Thanks to Dr. Seow for highlighting the error in C&P 4. :)

This is really Cyrestis cocles earli, form formosa.

C&P4 plate 23 No. 5 & 6 labels have been transposed.

No. 5 is form earli.

No. 6 is form formosa.
(Note: formosa = beautiful form & this is obviously the pretty one.)

TL Seow Cheers.

Nice shots from everyone so far, I hope that there are more shots that are waiting to be processed! Congrats Sunny and those who managed to shoot the rare Yellow Pasha!
