    Post 9.

    This looks to be a worn Caltoris bromus male.

    The FW spots are reduced here. There is a small upper cellspot which by its position is correctly placed.

    A male C. bromus yanucca Taiwan. Note the antennae are similarly marked.

    Sunny's pix is correctly C. bromus .(I cofused it with C. cormasa brcause it was very redbrown in my old laptop.)
