    As for Suada albolineata what Pisuth said was it will be mentioned but not included in the list for the 2nd edition, because of some uncertainties.

    He mentioned the pic taken resembles the males of S. swerga as supplied by Kimura, but there are no pic of female to compare the female underside of S. swerga as shown in C&P4 (pl54/46).

    Two flaws in the statement here.
    The undersides of both sexes of S. swerga are similar.(C&P4)
    In the Thai pic shown the abdominal tip is clearly that of a female.

    PS Here are pics of Indian S. swerga..
    The male does look more streaky.

    This raise the question as to whether S. albolineata is best treated as a subspecies of S. swerga.
