    Les, you are a savior! I was just wondering if there were any other 'bunda' around but funet do not mention any.

    However BOLD have a series of L. minibunda collected in Thailand.

    As you can see in the forms with the deeper reddish FWS the margins are variously darkened.
    Two, Nos 4 & 11 with paler, somewhat more rounded FWs have the margins pale. I think these 2 are females.

    The wide hour-glass mark & discrete submarginal spots would also separate these from L. pudibunda.

    It is almost a certainty that this Singaporean is Lyclene minibunda.

    BTW, any idea on Post 70 no.1 & 3.

    PS. The 'hourglass mark' can be narrow as this L. pseudobunda shows although all examples of minibunda shown have a wide hourglass.

    PS2 Here is the description of the female L. pudibunda stating the FW cilia are irrorated with black. Thus both sexes have black FW margins reaffirming M.O.B.'s statement on pudibunda.

    PS3. I gather from the gist of Jerome's statement in post 70 that you have already made the tentative ID of L. minibunda although he did not put the name down.
