2. Lexias : according d'Abrera : - pardalis occurs from Northern India to Peninsular Malaysia and China, whilst dirtea is distributed from Northern India to Sundaland and Philippines. So, your Mindoro specimen should be dirtea. - nevertheless, always according d'Abrera, there is a "great confusion between pardalis and the remarkably similar L. dirtea". - But, always following d'Abrera, "suffice to say that the easiest way to separate them is by examination of the respective antennae. In pardalis, the tips or club of the antennae are yellowish orange in coulour. In dirtea the clubs of the antennae are black as in the rest of antennae." Because your specimen has orange tips, it's obviously pardalis !  |
