I would leave it as Y. baldus newboldi.
Too much had already been said about whether there is 1 or 2 species.
1 is a male, & 2 is a female.

Thanks. Ee

IDs are right except the Egg-fly is male.
Hard to say if it is really Jacintha Eggfly . Larger white patches & some dots on the HW suggest it is.
There would be a fair bit of mixing of the 2 subspecies by now.

TL Seow Cheers.

Post 7.

1. Mycalesis perseoides.

2 & 3. Mycalesis visala.

Both M. persoides & visala have thick white lines (often joined) in the marginal area.
In persoides the inner margin of the HW spots form a very irregualr deeply jagged line from the white band; the dark line forms a tooth near the lower end (distorted here) .
In visala the inner margin of the spots is shallower & less irregular; the dark line may end at an angle at the end.
M. perseoides.

4. Mycalesis mineus.
Marginal striae usually narrow & buff; usually 2 spots on FW. one very large.; HW inner maargin of spots dip in V usually at the upper end.

5. female Caltoris cormasa.
Most photos of this spp. are usually very redbrown ;usually HW darker than FW; antennal shafts buff/brownish is a good ID feature.

Hi Dr Seow,

Thanks for assistance.

Post 4.

The 'Potanthus omaha' is in fact a female Palm Dart. (No spot 7 on the HW.)

The split spot 5 (topmost) on the forewing indicates it is the female Telicota colon.
