Telling them apart
Though I 'll check the "bible" on how to differentiate the Pelopidas group of Genera. I didnt know it was that easy
Mid tibiae spined : Baoris , Pelopidas
Mid tibiae not spined : Borbo, Caltoris, Polytremis, Parnara
( mid tibiae : What C&P4 meant are just tibiae(singular-tibia), the middle section of an insect's leg consisting of femur(thigh), tibia(shin) and a 5-segmented tarsus(foot). )
All 3 pics show spines on the mid tibiae and are Baoris ( Pelopidas have spots on the hindwing underside)
Post 5 pic is B. farri with a full complement of spots.
Post 8 pic 1 should be B. oceia.
Post 8 pic 2 should be B. farri with reduced spotting.(underside colour is also close to that of post 5 pic.)
TL Seow
( A correction : I have removed the hyphen from the word 'mid-tbiae' as per C&P4. )
