ID Needed for Skipper

[Blue Nawab]

Hi Dr Seow, is this Small Branded Swift (Pelopidas mathias mathias)? Thanks!

It can be quite difficult to tell them apart sometimes.
I think it looks like P. agna.
The HW looks clean. with some abrasion.

P. agna Singapore.

Yes, those are good examples of P. agna & mathias.
So it is correct as P. agna.

P, mathias is tinged with grey which appears as irregular whitish shading in pix.

TL Seow: Cheers.

Dear Dr Seow, what's the id for the following skipper? Thanks!

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.)
