Male Caltoris cahira austeni.


At first glance it suggest Caltoris bromus because it is the only species in Singapore where the HW have a spot in space 2 in the FEMALE.
The wingshape is that of a male & the HW is extremely dark brown.

The HW white spot is an artifact, ie injury or developmental mark, or a particulate matter, eg bird poo.
It is too near the base of space 2. Compare with female C. bromus.

Thank you Dr Seow. Will try to look for the caterpillars and get a voucher specimen for it to be added to Singapore list.
