    Default Is it a Malayan Lascar?

    On the Clubsnap website, which I was checking for the C. thyodamus thread, I hoticed a pic by Ericpooi, which he says is a Malayan Lascar. To my mind the forewing markings are wrong. Checking C&P4, the closest I could find was Pantoporia aurelia aurelia. What do you guys think? (Sorry, don't know how to reproduce the pic or link)

    You're right Les, that should be the Pantoporia hordonia hordonia aka Common Lascar.

    Actually, I looked at P. hordonia hordonia, and felt that the upperside orange submarginal line was too wide, hence my thought of P. aurelia.

    What an idiot I am! I completely forgot to look at the Athyma species. Right as always SK.

    The sister of my late neighbour is going back to Germany tomorrow after the funeral, so she's been over for drinks! Yes, it is well passed my bedtime.
    I think I now have all bases covered with C&P4, Pinratana and Ek-Amnuay. Each one has advantages over the others, best descriptions and keys (C&P4), best & most comprehensive photos (Ek-Amnuay) and best distribution details for Thailand (Pinratana).

    Goodnight all

    Butterflies of Thailand by Pisuth Ek-Amnuay, distributed by Amarin Book Centre Co Ltd, web address http://www.naiin.com. (Cost me c.Baht2000)

    One word of warning, the descriptions are poor and unreliable, and distribution details very confusing! But the pics are very good, and more comprehensive, (more undersides, females etc) than C&P4.

    Photos are good and useful to complement C&P4.

    Engrisch is crappy, as Les said. They could use a good translator in Edition 2 in future.
