Malaysia has a better net work, Singapore too busy?Originally Posted by Psyche
Strange! The links work fine on my side.
Anyway there is an underside of a male O. jopas with the VW-DJ article at plate 10 fig 8. It has more smaller spots.
When Aaron ID'ed the Jamides tentatively as J. aratus, I did not realised there is another almost identical species.
Alan Cassidy an entomologist with Project Wallace to Sulawesi had posted images of both species.

Another strange thing is A. C. Cassidy's J. fractilinea (male) show a faint submarginal band (running from space 4 on upperside forewing to the dorsum) beside the dark termen marginal border and J. aratus (male, collected by John Tennent) not, just the reverse for D''Abrera's illustrations. But J. fractilinea is larger and darker blue is the same.
