Two UFOs.
The first I reckon is Dohia evelina compta from the distinctive forewing leading edge markings.
The second is an Arhopala......without the upper 0ff it goes into the Arhopala Bin ...... any one want a headache??:bsmile:

Guess who visited us after the ER trip at home while we were having beers.
My flash failed again and I have to switch to R1C1.

Sunny, you have your first photo wrongly named!:police: Wakey, Wakey!:grin2:
Nelson, fantastic photos. I love the Malay Red Harlequin upperside.
The shot beneath that is Coelites epiminthea epiminthea (Straight-Banded Catseye) . I caught a fleeting glimpse of it, but no photo.
The next is a Mycalesis species, either M. anapita or M. patiana. Not having seen the live specimen, I can not tell which.
The Faun species is Faunis gracilis (Narrow Striped Faun). Incedentally, I believe someone has managed a photo of Faunis kirata (Broad-Striped Faun), please post it!
As for the Jamides species, I'll leave that for one of Jamides fans to solve, I am having enough trouble with the Arhopala species I got.:mad2: :thinking: :sweat: :bsmile:
Must join you guys there next time!
Les ,
Thanks ! Corrected.;P
How nice to have thisQuote:

This Jamides specimen could be Jamides virgulatus. Besides the large yellow tornal area in the hindwing stretching into space 5 (and obliterating the postdiscal white striae in spaces 3 and 4 in doing so), the basal striae in the hindwing is more or less lined up as well. Both features are ID keys for J. virgulatus. :grin2:Quote:
