    Dear Dr Seow, is this Zographetus ogygia or Zographetus doxus? Thanks!

    You have a female Zographetus ogygia.

    Both Z. doxus & ogygia males have white-banded antennal club.; the females have the club black.

    Z. doxus. Underside discal area yellow in the male ;mostly yellow in the female (actually more ochreous-yellow)

    Z. ogygia; Underside unicolorous (evenly one colour) golden brown to rich ferruginous ie rusty-red brown.

    Jerome & ?Brian shot the male several years ago.

    The Z. ogygia in India is quite different.
    Whether it is just subspecies difference or a different species from here is uncertain.
