[Saffron]

Dear Dr. Seow sir, I am posting this Telinga for ID from Meghalaya. I am unable to decide on a species, however it look something like Telinga malsarida. Please have a look. The photo was taken in the month of March.

Agreed it is T. malsarida .

In T. malsarida the FW white band curved in towards the costa.

T. nicotia is similar but the white band runs straight up to the costa.

T. malserius does not have a dsf.
The FW white band is turned in towards the costa higher at vein 6.
HW eyespot 2 is larger than eyespot 3 ( vs T. malsarida in which eyespots 2 & 3 are equal in wsf.)
