Dr. Seow ,

The first individual # 1, I have identified it as Caltoris philippina philippina, am I correct ?


#2 and #3 are from the same individual whilst #4 is another look-alike , I am able to narrow it down to either Pelopidas or Polytremis , I suspect it to be Polytremis lubricans.

Your kind assistance please ! :)

#1 Caltoris philippina ?

All are correct.

Of the Caltoris, only philippina is more noticeable greenish on the underside & body; antenna without a pale patch below the club; Wingshape distorted (too roundeed).

2 ,3 ,& 4 are female Polytremis lubricans.
Useful features are FW spots distinctly yellow; upper cellspot triangular ; postdiscal spot 2 very large & 'oval'.

TL Seow:Cheers.
