Maliau Basin - Butterfly

[bluefin]

I agree that No1. is a Delias species, when on earth did you see it and where!!!!!!!! and why did you not give me a shout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is [I]Delias singapura indistincta.[/I ] There is a small difference in the photo from the specimen in my collection in the amount of yellow on the hindwing in my specimen, but I think that this is probably just a minor variation, everything else fits perfectly.

Les, you were at the river when the shots were taken. I have shown you the pics at the river when the shots are taken and asked whether the first one is a Delias.

2nd one shld be a Drina mariae. Not sure about the first.

Right on Aaron. Do you have a book on Borneo butterflies ?

The 1st one is Drina cowani. The tails are white. Also D. donina is not found in Borneo. ( correction D. donina is replaced by the closely allied & similar D. ninoda in Borneo; note ninoda is an anagram of donina.)

( Rechecking since the tails of donina/ninoda can also be whitish. The extra white see-thru should confirm the ID is correct. See

Was I? I don't remember. I only recall seeing the one P. cornelia. But then, my head was still playing up after my accident (my excuse anyway ).

Anyway, nice to see you starting to show your rarities. and good to see my suspicions on the Drina mariae seconded.

Thanks Aaron for assisting in the ID.

where is Nelson's shots ? Still hold on to his Super rare butts ?

Has been preoccupied with some commitments lately , will try to get most of the butty pics out by tis wkend.

Nelson is teasing everyone. He has some 'Wow!' ones to show .....eventually, and I'm not saying what. They will be worth the wait.

"Wow" is insteresting and patience will reap rewards.

My spy satellite happened to pass by that area when I zoomed in and saw LC and Nelson proning down to shoot the Glorius Begum?

At that moment, We were just collecting poops for bait.
