Four Arhopala species from western Thailand that I have tentatively identified.
Only problem is that some appear out of range.
Image 1 and 2). Same individual. From Kaeng Krachan, northern Peninsula. I think this must be A. silhetensis. Although there does not appear to be any records from western Thailand specifically, there are some from north and south, so I am pretty confident on this one.
Image 3 and 4). Same individual. From Kanchanaburi province, nw of Bangkok. Looks like A. antimuta, though again known from north and south, but not western Thailand.
Image 5. From Kanchanaburi province, nw of Bangkok. Looks like A. lurida, but this species is only know from the south of Thailand, so would be quite far out of range.
Image 6 and 7. Two different individuals, but taken same place and look the same species to me. From Kanchanaburi province, nw of Bangkok. Looks like A. antimuta, though again known from north and south, but not western Thailand.
