These are the ones that 'I skip skippers' LC did not take!
This first one is causing me a huge amount of trouble. It is an Aeromachus species, and the only one recorded from Malaysia is Aeromachus jhora creta. However, the butt looks nothing like that pictured in C&P, far too dark! It is much closer to Aeromachus dubius impha. I have to keep it as the former, as it was a very common butt in the area, and I am sure someone would have noticed it before.
Can anyone help? PLEASE (I've tried to get as many different angles as poss to help)
Anf finally one that I was delighted to find on my last day, Polytremis eltola corbeti (The Yellow-Spot Swift). This means that I now have photos of both a 'Corbet' and a 'Pendlebury' (Nacaduba pendleburyi).
I am afraid that is all from my trip. I do have photos of a female Delias baracasa dives (Camerons), Ideopsis gaura (Tapah) and also Tagiades cohaerens cinda (Kampar), but they are too bad for even me to show! I saw many other species including three other Delias species, but was unable to get any photos of them, either too far away or flying too fast!

... these guys look like the really common skippers here in SG. you must have a really sharp eye to spot that they are rare!
