    Caltoris can be a rather difficult genus to ID as much depend on the colouration.
    In photos it can varies enormously.


    Caltoris cormasa
    Underside strongly red/purple brown, the HW usually darker.
    Occassionally most of the FW spots may be absent except for spots 2 & 3.
    Typical example.
