2 hours at Huay Too National Park - Krabi TH

A new trip to Krabi and one day only of butterfly hunting.

This Miletus was, IMHO, strange and never seen before, very fast flying, large white upperside, large (over one inch tall). Could it be M.symethus?

May I ask, what about M. gigantes?

It is stated that the range of M. gigantes & ancon are allopatric.
M. gigantes was formerly considered a ssp. of M. ancon. They are similar in size.

Yutaka's record shows M. gigantes to be well south in Narathiwat Satun & Ko Tarutao.

Thank you. Actually I had missed Pendlebury's record for M. ancon from Karom Waterfall, Khao Luang. Krabi and Karom WF are about equally south, though they are seperated by a very wide plain of rice padis. Krabi is almost equidistant from Satun and Ranong, which location I had seen, so I thought it worth asking.

Also noticing, now, that one of the Ranong locations is Muang Shone, which is to the south of the province, I feel sure you are right.

Another 50 km south of Krabi, it will be quite hard to decide what it is.

Z. doubledayi is right. This species is probably still extant in Singapore.

The Paralaxita species appeared to be lowlanders up north though the temperature is not much different from Malaya.
