I shot this lycaenid at Telok Blangah Hill Park (TBHP) a few weeks back.
Initially I thought it was Apefly (Spalgis epius epius) but on closer examiniation the patterns are different from Apefly and it lacks the characteristic whitish patch on the forewing.
Compare the above to this photo from Khew's website !
However, according to C&P4 pg227 :
'unnamed variety' ? What do you guys think ? Is this Apefly, the unnamed variety or another species which I have missed ?Occassionally very small specimens are found, which, in both sexes, entirely lack the whitish patch on the forewing. These give the impression of being a distinct species, but there appears to be no difference in the male genitalia and they are left as an unnamed variety
Keep a look out for this tiny fella the next time you go to TBHP.
