Thank you for the IDs, Seow. I have 7 photos with differing perspectives of the second Isma. Would it help if I sent them to you via email?

That would be great.

TL Seow:cheers:

Here are the ??Arhopala. Apologies for any duplications of LC's post.

1) This is the one you labelled poss. A. kurzi. I had thought it may have been A. moolaiana. This is included again because of No. 2 below.
2) This was taken at the same place as No. 1, but on a different day. I am not sure if it could be the same species. (C&P4 does not show undersides.
3 & 4) A. zambra?
5 & 6) I have this small sp. as a poss. A. antimuta.
7) No idea! Picture chosen as it provides maximum forewing exposure.

Here are the odd Allotinus.

No real ideas on any, I find this Genus very difficult.

Very nice, Les and LC. The Charaxes dunfordi was a lovely find! Les, you certainly found a great variety of Arhopola.

LC is rather unhappy about this one, because, after just taking a record shot, it landed on his camera, leaving him completely helpless!

Wow, how frustrating that would be!

I am jealous and kicking myself for unable to go!!:bsmile:

The Malay Baron is the only baron in which the male have blue on the forewing.

The Hasora is eitherH. lizetta or H. zoma.
Should be H. lizetta since there is ochreous shading.

Female Zeltus amasa.

S. vivarna is correct.
