    TL seow: Cheers

    PS. All the males with UnH white spots have the UnH ground colour very dark brown as in C. cahira.
    As stated earlier, cahira is specifically stated to have no UnH white spot.
    This raise the question if it is possible that Singapore have a unique population of C. cahira that may have UnH spots
    Or perhaps it is an endemic new species.
    This question can only be answered if some specimens are taken & the genitalia examined or DNA analysis is done.
    Based on the key of the reference text, these are considered to be C, bromus .
