Colotis doubledayi ?

I suspect this can be a pair of Colotis doubledayi. A rare species confined to the dry areas in southwest africa, from northern Angola to Namibia and most northern part of South Africa.

Theclinae: Myrina silenus ?

We had a lot of these flying high up in a fig tree. A very beautiful butterfly but very hard to catch.
Finally managed this male almost falling down from the balcony on the second floor.

Sorry for the poor picture and specimen ...

I have a few Lycaenidae in terrible condition. More like bits and pieces but would like to get an ID on them if possible.

Re: Luanda, Angola 1992

Thanks a lot Cabintom. I have one more Colotis (could be a pair of Colotis doubledayi) on the spreading board at the moment. I will be back with those in a couple of weeks.
