    The shape of spot 3 was given by Flemings, author of BoWM&S.
    It is not absolute. Need to view in the correct perspective.
    You can see the difference in the Yutaka website,

    2 is certain to be E. torus. Corrected.
    3 looks to have the termen a bit straighter, but FW is broad as in E. torus.
    Compare typical E. thraxfemale with narrower FW.

    I would include it as E. torus.

    Do note interspecific crosses occur & can be fully fertile with sibling species.

    A. is fairly typical E. torus female.


    TL Seow: Cheers.
