Hi, i lost my contacts with Ebay seller "Ameriana"
Can anyone tell me if he goes by another Ebay name?

So as far as i can see, mauensis orange form female became the dominant form for aurantiaca immaculatus and so on.

Hi everyone,
Just a bit puzzled over A.pericles females , I'm seeing that lets take as an example, pericles aurantiaca and mauensis ,the females in particular are to me identticle,
There is a shift in males acrossssp but the females are very consistent generally.
Any thoughts ??

Only recently i had conversations with Chuch , a delightful man
RIP Sir.

Hello Tim ! Congratulations are in order for finishing up your schooling. 🙏🎉☺️ Very nice to see you once again posting some of your acquisitions. Have missed your presence here on the forum but, hope to see more of you here now as youthful collectors help to invigorate our forum ! A. narcissus is c...

I notice that most Agrias collections are mainly male specimens, is it because females are rarer or males are more attractive.?
I would have thought that a collection of pairs would be a preference

A couple more of my Agrias with data Female A claudina croesus from Kempton Show London. Male A sardanapalus lugina form godmani from Chuck Ianni. Dave, the correct ID of your second Agrias is a Agrias claudina lugina form orleansi . Please note that "sardanapalus" is a ssp of claudina (f...

On the topic of Agrias ( apologies to those that are shaking their fingers in admonishment ) yes, I said Agrias, is there anyone who can tell me the paper that puts Agrias in Prepona.
Can't find online.

Oh I'm not worried, you can't take money with you, but on second thoughts , cant take butterflies either

Now my final question on this subject as i now have a good understanding of this . Aduse-Poku seems to not recognise C. Lydiae as,a member of Charaxini in his system of classification. Thierry Bouyer has given Lydiae a separate monospecific genus, stating it as unique in regards to all other Charaxi...

There are 2 important rules in taxonomy : #1 : you have to follow the latest publication. So in this case Bouyer 2023. (We now have scientific techniques like DNA analysis we didn't have in 2009). #2 : InsectNet members are always right, so once again, you have to follow Bouyer 2023 (@africaone on ...

Thanks for this detailed information.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions, greatly appreciated. Now I'm having to ask this next question knowing that it will have two different types of viewers. So, what I'm querying is we have splitters and lumpers exemplified by Thierry Bouyer in his paper on Charaxini 2023 and Kwaku Aduse-Po...

Polyura dehanii carabus was described by Etsuzo Tsukada in his Butterflies of the South East Asian Islands, Part V, Nymphalidae (II) back in 1991. My thanks for your help, i dont suppose you have access to a photo of the male of this ssp? I know thee female and really would like to compare with nom...

Thank you for this information, really appreciated

If anyone has a spare 25,000 Euros, there is a male on a German Ebay site

Adam, I'm asking if you know of a Polyura dehaani ssp carabus from Mt Dempo in Sumatra, or is this just a dealers name for ssp sulthan ???
