Anaeomorpha splendida
A male specimen of the nominate subspecies from Iquitos in Peru. Shown recto & verso. I was very annoyed with myself setting this fairly rare butterfly & putting pin holes in apex of right forewing. Did that nearly thirty years ago. Hopefully I have improved since...

Agrias narcissus
These are old specimens I have had for nearly 40 years. The data is for Obidos Brazil but I am not convinced that is accurate.
Three pairs recto & one pair verso.

Re: Ornithoptera croesus
You know Dave, I actually had the opportunity to purchase the specimen of miokensis which I saw in either 1999 or 2000.

Re: Ornithoptera croesus
You are welcome Trehopr.
I have not seen miokensis in the flesh. If any one out there has some it would be good to see them.

Hypolimnas takizawai (Flores,Indonesia)
My single specimen of this species came from an entomological show at Kettering in the U.K. in 2011.
Believe it is now known as H sumbawana takizawai.
Two pictures. One of the specimen itself & one of the specimen with data.
