Les, there is no C. nadina nadina in C&P4. Could it be Cepora nadina andersoni ?

I guess I got this last one to post.

Ixias pyrene alticola (Yellow Orange Tip) - female

Eliot had actually elevated alticola to full species status as Ixias alticola.

Apologies, I had thought we had the same ssp. It appears that the Malay ssp. does not reach the Thai border, nor does the Thai ssp. reach Malaysia. C. nadina andersoni it is. Damnation, never bothered to photo it!!:thumbsdow

Is this now fully accepted? I knew that there was great debate about this, but was not aware it had been resolved. C&P4 mentions this and intimates that it could be a separate sp. but retained it as a ssp. of I. pyrene.
