Hi Doctor Seow,

i ID the first skipper this as a oriens gola but got mentioned that it probably isnt a oriens gola, judging by the forewing placement and all i assume is a telicota species. I would like some help please! At the rate of skipper ID is going, i suppose my late night alcohol sessions shall include some skipper learning! I suppose the second one is a potanthus?

1. Potanthus trachala.Female.


2. Typical male P. trachala.

Only Potanthus have a large cspot 7 on the HW.
The female is slightly aberrant on the FW.
The male is typical.

Male & female.

4 - P.hordonia? The submarginal line is much thicker in this one compare to the above two. Inat link has more photo than the ones here, which after downsizing is somewhat blurry on computer end
