    Default Hindsight and Corrections.

    I was looking for pics of Telicota females when I remembered this thread have a few. Going thru the images I realised a number of errors.

    With hindsight this is obviously a Parnara female, with the short stubby antennae. The antennae and underside colouration are quite different from Sunny's Parnara bada female.

    It is probably P. ganga.

    Jamides. I think you are right all along, Khew. It should be J. celeno since the upperside wingtip is way too dark for J. pura, which means good alignment of the white striae need not be J. pura.

    The 2nd 'Pelopidas' is also a Parnara female although the antennae are a tad longer. It is not assamensis(antennae shaft white-banded), or conjunctus(hyaline spots yellow) & too dark (& hindwing spots too large) for mathias & agna.
    The underside is very dark and the antennae appeared to all black as in P. apostata.
