Re: Charaxes eurialus
Females of these are huge and the undersides are exquisite
Re: Charaxes eurialus
Dave, I'm continuously amazed at your collection. How do you locate such fabulous specimens? How many drawers do you have?
Re: Charaxes eurialus
Thank You. I have been collecting for over 40 years & have obtained specimens from many sources in the U.K. & overseas during that time.
These particular ones come from Ken Thorne in Canada. I got them about twenty years ago.
Most of my collection is housed in Entomological double sided plastazote lined Store Boxes from Watkins & Doncaster. I have over 100 of those.
Here is an example containing African & Asian Kallima & related families.

Reason: Kallima, not Kamilla

Re: Charaxes eurialus
Just to address Adam's edit:
The green specimens in the 5th row on the left side were formerly known as Kamilla ansorgei. In the seventh row of the same side, second from the left, is a specimen of what was formerly known as Kamilla cymodoce. Both of these species are now placed within Junonia.
That said, I expect Dave had meant Kallima.

Re: Charaxes eurialus
Also, Dave, you'll probably want to swap that J. cymodoce around with the Kallimoides rumia above it (or beside it).

Re: Charaxes eurialus
Oh, that is interesting. I didn't realise that there is also a genus Kamilla. Apologies if Dave actually meant Kamilla, but most of these butterflies are Kallima.Cabintom wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 6:14 pm Just to address Adam's edit:

Re: Charaxes eurialus
There is also the genus Mallika Collins & Larsen, 1991 which adds another permutation to the set.adamcotton wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 7:00 pm Oh, that is interesting.

Re: Charaxes eurialus
Indeed I did. Getting old !! Thank You & also thanks to Adam for the correction. I believe Jackson's leaf butterfly is now placed in a genus of its own. Mallika.Cabintom wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 6:14 pm Just to address Adam's edit:

Re: Charaxes eurialus
I have some very strange arrangements in some of my boxes. Some for purely aesthetic reasons. Sacrilege among the more scientific minded I know. Apologies to anyone offended by this.
