    1. Female E. radamanthus.
    The 2nd most copied model after E. mulciber by other butterflies & moths.
    Readily ID'ed by rounded FWs; also droopy antennae, black eyes.

    3. Doleschallia bilsaltide ?bilsaltide variant. FW white subapical spots cellspots mostly absent.
    It seems strange they can't decide if this is really D. bilsaltide bisaltide from Java.
    The cat in the Klang valley is the usual type with a red patch at the bases of the spines.

    5. Most authors agreed this should now be Saletara panda distanti.

    The Saletara liberia from the Papuan region is quite different looking.

    TL Seow : Cheers.
