antonio once again,
fabulous pictures. your pictures are sort of environmental with great clarity and composition. they are like "book photos". i strive to shoot pictures like these one day. it's a breath of fresh air compared to the usual brightly lit green backgrounds and i really really like it.

A63 This looks to be Suada albolineata.
The subspecies of Suada swerga here, ie ssp suava ,has a very large white or buff(pale yellowish) area on the hindwing.
I have checked de Niceville's original description & he did not mention the veins being white.
However. nominate ssp swerga from India has less white/buff & some veins are whitened/pale.

Suada albolineata does not have the hindwing shaded with white/buff, only the veins are streaky white/buff.
The name albolineata (white-lined) refers to the white veins.

A69 Euploea sylvester harrisii
FW apex broadly rounded; discal blue spots; marginal dots; HW spots rounded.
Correction It is E. algea menetriesii. HW submarginal spots are elongate, not rounded as in E. sylvester.
A70 Arhopala zambra zambra.
Cleander group;FW spot 10 large & as wide as cellend bar; HW spot 6 overlaps cellend bar.
A71 Arhopala silhetensis adorea.
Typical sinuous spots 6 & 7 & wide gap between spot 5 & cellend bar.
A72. Thoressa masoni.
Spots on the HW may be poorly defined (as here) ; basal spot in space 7 large; abdomen with broad prominent black bands.

Similar to Indian T. honorei, but this has small basal spot 7, & abdomen not strongly black-banded.

Butterfly dogs don't like baths. They only like to puddle... in their own pee!
