1. Potanthus trachala male.

2. Pelopidas mathias female . Strong grey tinged.

3.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/146109278
Pelopidas mathias sex unknown.

4. This sort of single view is very difficult.
Female Potanthus probably P. omaha.

Telicota 'FW subapical spots joined to the costal & cell stripes.

Dear Doctor Seow,

This recent observation of a amathusia is not a A.phidippus to me, and i would like to hear your opinions given that the wing has the notch features as u mention previously.

I would think it is more likely to be A. friderici.

However, I won't push for it as there is a gradation of the intermediates between them.
It is much like the difference between Mycalesis visala & perseoides, Ypthima baldus& horsfieldi & many more.

If someone could make a collection of the Palm Kings in Pulau Ubin, where the friderici form is common, the picture would be clearer.


TL Seow; Cheers.
