I did not realise Krung Ching is that far south. C. melaena is not recorded from P. Malaysia. The next possibility is Plautella cossaea but the arrangement of the FW spots 3, 4, & 5 are as in C melaena ie the 3 spots are roughly parallel; in P. cossaea spot 4 is roughly at right angle to the other two. Here are the Yutaka examples. http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc4/80880001.html http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc4/80820010.html TL Seow: Cheers.
Thank you. I agree, not a great match for Plautella cossaea. I think this one will have to remain as unidentified for now. Bit of a mystery.
