    Default Doubts about Coladenia

    Got a new shot of a Coladenia quickly identified as C. laxmi sobrina, in Krung Ching, South Thailand.



    But I remember another, older shot of a C.laxmi from Krabi, South Thailand, that IMHO looks different:


    The Gray Pied Flat - Coladenia laxmi sobrina


    So checking better the only species closer to the first is C.agnioides. Am I wrong?

    The 1si pic is Coladenia agni.

    The difficulty is separating C. agni & agnioides.
    Evans & C&P4 gives differences which are not quite precise.

    Coladenia agni :Antenae evenly brown; HW cilia in space 6 & 7 whitish; lighter.

    Coladenia agnioides. Antennae partly white : HW cilia evenly brown; darker.

    It does show the 1st pic is correctly Coladenia agni sundae.

    No problem with that.
    The FW has a large costal spot conjoined with the large cellspot.
    There are two black spots near the base of space 1b, but only one is well-formed, the other incomplete.
    Only other similar one,C. palawana has a single large black spot there.

    TL Seow:Cheers.
