Hi Dr. Seow,
Here are observations in Peninsular Malaysia by teenager RY of Kuala Lumpur who requested me to submit for your help to confirm id.

RY said he tried to register on this site but his submission could not be completed. Hence requested me to submit on his behalf.

I hope it is OK with you. Thank you.

8.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199180326
Likely to be Halpe zinda

Two species have the HW band strongly angled out at the tornus.
There are.
H. zema. HW band outer margin strongly serrated, yellowish.
At rest the lower part is angled out more because of the folding effect.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91250010.html

Halpe elana.
Band narrow , outer margin very irregular.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91280001.html
https://thaibutterflies.com/Butterflies/halpe-elana/



The next two have the band's lower end less extended & angled but at rest because of the fold also appeared rather angled.
The bands tend to be whitish, the outer margin more regular.

H. ormenes.
Band rather broad.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91260010.html
https://thaibutterflies.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Halpe-ormenes.jpg

H. zinda.
Band narrower, resembling that in zema.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91253010.html
This observation below also looks to be this species.

Female Atrophaneura nox erebus.

I am surprised that this need confirmation.

The female is magical.
She is usually seen flying low in the forest gloom, weaving around the low bushes.
At times she is practically invisible in the dim light, the whitened wingtips appearing like a pair of white moths moving in a synchronized dance.

I'll leave this as it is.
It is either P. bada or ganga.
The HW have large spots & a small spot 6.
It resembles P. ganga but P. ganga is stated to lack this spot (although occassionally it is present).
All species may have different sized spots.

Mycalesis is variable & reginal difference can be cinfusing.

Two similar species with the white strae around the eyespots enhanced.


M. perseoides.
