Congratulations on the Charaxes durnfordi. A magnificent find:gbounce: . A different subspecies to what LC and I found in Taman Negara, though what the differences are, I don't know!
Also, you got your Straight Pierrot at last.:thumbsup:
The Arhopala is, I am pretty certain, Arhopala aedis agnis. I found it there last time.

Just realised the 'Blue Count' is actually C. godartii male.
Inner blue margins quite straight; forewing apices hardly falcate; hindwing blue band narrower than flora.

This form of L. martha with rich chestnut & defined whites is L. martha martha.
Charaxes dunfordi is magnificent.

Allotinus sarrastes.
Hindwing postdiscal spot 6 aligned with spots 2 - 5, & away from spot 7.
Forewing postdiscal spots broken in the middle; lowest at dorsum nearer termen than the uppermost one at costa.
Submarginal spots black & white.
Arhopala aedias is correct.

Thank you, Seow and Les.
Yes the Charaxes dunfordi is magnificent and it worth the 2 'weak' days.
:cheers:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Well taken shots !!
:cheers:
Nice :thumbsup:
Like the Chestnut rajah
This identification raises a number of questions. As they are of a scientific nature, not photographic, I will post them elsewhere, as and when I can phrase my questions correctly!:)Quote:

Page 180 in C&P4 states the nominate ssp. martha is found in Langkawi with a hybrid zone in the northern states of Perlis & Kedah on the Mainland. This will of course extends into Thailand.Quote:

The description of martha is given on page 180.
The Malayan ssp. malayana is rather dull.
This one is from Singapore, but Malayan examples are similar.

PS. There is a large area of intermediates in peninsular Thailand.
L. martha martha from Laos.

L. martha malayana from KPN.

Island forms are less likely to be affected by 'contamination' as on the mainland.
Phuket & Langkawi have ssp. martha.
KPN & Samui retains largely the Sundanian form malayana.
I noticed Samui's form have more orange than that of KPN but would probably still be considered malayana.
Samui, being nearer to the mainland would receive more migrant martha forms.
However, Yutaka considered taxon samuina from Samui as a synonym of martha.
