Pyrops whiteheadi ID'ed by my flickr contact Fulgorke


similar to P. whiteheadi but with yellow nose tip and yellow band on wings...sorry, bad image. Shot through a container. Someone found it at the canteen...Derrick and I looked for this type the following day but no luck SOB SOB


Pyrops ? They had to stay so high up on a big tree. Heavily cropped SOB

Second unkown looks like a typical male malay baron(E. monina)?

Hi to all.
The unknown Tanaecia is T. orphne, a Bornean endemic.Unique. The inner spots of the forewing are ovate as a result of the arrrowheads pointing outwards insteads of inwards.
The baron is Euthalia monina ilka. The male of E. monina is the only Euthalia with blue scalings on the forewing. Due credit to young Aaron.
The unknown Discophora should be D. sondaica, but I can not confirm it.

Thank you very much, as that is one of the very few species from the trip we could not identify with any certainty. We had noticed that these fleches (arrowheads) were facing the wrong way when compared to all known Peninsular species. However, there are several species on Borneo not found on the Peninsular, and we could not find out the right one.

Is T. orphne the only species with these wrong facing fleches, as we photographed a second specimen that had these, but looked slightly different? The pale markings on the hindwing are much less extensive on this other one.

Seow, the upperside is blue color. It could be D. necho

Nelson,

Did you get the upperside shot ?
