Likely correct as Poritia philota.

These two species ,P. sumatrae and philota have the underside fasciations uniform without distinctive features.
They can be very similar in fieldshots.

P. sumatrae.
Underdside markings sharper and more contrasted.
The ground is whiter
Bands are typically cinnamon brown on a pale ground.

P. philota.
The markings are practically identical.
Sometimes the white edgings on the black spots are wider and the HW cilia whitish.
Mainly theground is a darker ochreous/brownish with the markings poorly contrasted.

Thanks so much Dr. Seow��. I will try to get the upperside of the possible P. phama next time I go.

Correct ID
Female Halpe flava.

The difficulty was finding a match for the white centred interneural black spot in space 2.
Normally P. stramineipennis have at least one.

Halpe flava.
Ground light yellowish brown.
HW interneural spots 4 & 5 rather small.
Female may a white-centred spot in space 2.
Antennal tip orange (?variable).
Female with a white centre spot in space 2.

Likely to be Telicota besta male.

In Telicota fieldshots colour is often very confusing.

Note following features.
Head & thorax greyer than wings.
Face whiter.
HW band shows indication of dark veins despite poor resolution.


Telicota besta.
Male UpF with a triangular orange patch at the base of space 2.
Male brand nearer the inner margin of black space.
UnF spot 4 & 5 aligned
UnH with the veins lightly dark-dusted; veins often prominent.

Arhopala kurzi

The amphimuta group may be recognised by being tailless and the HW postdiscal spots placed in a staggered fashion across the cellend bar.
A. kurzi is readily IDed by the wide separation of the postdiscal band at vein 2 between spots 1b and 2.
The V spot is often broken into two.

Deudorix epijarbas.

Deudorix staudingeri.
Larger size.
UpH red ground with dark fascia.
Underside white striae fading especially on the postdiscal bands.
Black striae becoming stronger.
HW orange crown tend to be more rounded.

This does look more like D. staudingeri but to be certain ,try to get a UpH shot to see the dark fascia.

[Dilophobia]

This individual was around double the size of a normal epijarbas. Had a chance to shoot the upperside but decided not to… lesson learned.
