I have to admit you have a good point here.Originally Posted by Painted Jezebel
When I first check thru argiolus all the valid images were from Europe or USA.
They have the submarginal lunulate markins obsolete or very poorly defined, & a white ground colour.
However, I have check up ssp lynteana & it does have submarginal lunules. Fig. 1o below.

Undeniably the spots/markings could match dllecta, rona or argiolus.
CD27 have a strong dingy brown underside.
I have not seen any example of C argiolus with this colour.
Still, given the wide variaton possible in any of these species, the ID is still dodgy.
Perhaps, I was too intent on separating dilecta & rona.
C. argiolus is still in the picture, but I would love to see a valid pic of it with this dingy underside first.
TL Seow : Cheers.
