Thank you Dr. Seow for the precise identifications.
Udara rona is not reported for Thailand (Pisuth Ek-Amnuay 2012). Could be a new entry?

This leaves only dilecta & rona & it does not look like dilecta.
There is a hint of dark blue on the upperside.
Still a full upper is necessary for confirmation
Subspecies catius is the race in peninsular Malaysia.

A few more species :
CD33. Salanoemia similis (The Similar Streak Darter)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps4edc1513.jpg
CD34. Halpe zola zola (The Long - banded Ace) ? - LC has posted a similar shot - just for comparison.

CD35. Ixias pyrene yunnanensis (Yellow Orange Tip)

CD36 : Athyma cama cama (The Orange Staff Sergeant) - I realise that I did have one A. cama underside shot.

CD37. Curetis sp - decided to post it as I noticed that this may not be the C. acuta dentata ?

CD38. Telicota sp
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps8c7f9826.jpg
CD39. ??

Sorry Fed, but 33 is Thoressa masoni. Do not go by Pisuth's pictures of the species, they are very poor. I saw one that I suspected may have been the Salanoemia and hoped had a +1 but realised, when I got the photos back home that I was wrong. No. 40, I am not so sure about (3 subapical spots on the uppersde forewing?).
CD 33 & CD 40. Thoressa masoni.
CD 37. Curetis acuta. Note HW postdiscal band in space 5 & 6 are straight & in line.
CD 38. Telicota ?bambusae. HW veins not darkened; ?greenish tinge to HW.
CD 39. Ancistroides nigrita. Stimula has only the FW outer area paler.
TL Seow: Cheers.
WOW, that is quite a good haul. Beautiful pictures from everyone. :cheers:
Me can only drooooll thru the monitor. ;P
Any reason why Celastrina argiolus iynteana is not considered?Quote:

I have to admit you have a good point here.Quote:

Undeniably the spots/markings could match dllecta, rona or argiolus.
CD27 have a strong dingy brown underside.
I have not seen any example of C argiolus with this colour.
Still, given the wide variaton possible in any of these species, the ID is still dodgy.
Perhaps, I was too intent on separating dilecta & rona.
C. argiolus is still in the picture, but I would love to see a valid pic of it with this dingy underside first.
TL Seow : Cheers.
Great shots from everyone but don't seem to see LC Goh's shots as yet, still PS'ing :)
