Neptis yerburii pandoces

Neptis yerburii pandoces

This does looks correct, but the correct name is now Neptis capnodes pandoces.
There were a lot of confusion with wsf & dsf of the Himalayan Neptis.

Smetacek have found that the original taxon yerburii falls as a ssp of Neptis nata (synonym peilei )
The taxon capnodes is raised to full species & the taxon pandoces falls a ssp. of capnodes.

There is a pix of the taxon pandoces under the old name of N. yerburii pandoces. fig 14. left-topside.

N. soma :FW submarginas triangualr cut in strongly at apex.

N. nata, very similar but FW potdiscal spots 1b, 2, & 3 more spaced out.
