Australian, PNG and Thai Moths

The Noctuid from Lembah Harau (3rd left) may be Spirama helicina.

I went there in 1979, I bet it's changed a lot since then, probably not for the better.

Dear all!

I feel I should clarify a situation.

1. A TL for a new ssp. is not "on the same mountain". It is some tens km apart.
2. It was not my intention to describe a new ssp, and till the last moment I struggled against.
3. After a long persuasions of Korb I gave up to add me as a co-author. I am dear of my reputation.
4. Yes, and that was my main agenda to earn money. I am the independent researcher, and I have
no other way to get money besides sell a part of my specimens. So this opportunity.
5. It was not a male PARATYPE for $ 1.500 - in was a pair, male 500 female 1000

5. On Colias baryshevi - Bob, I contacted you on this years before. Your fault.

6. On Dvar - Radovan, before to critisize, let's travel there and try to collect anything.
I, personally, did not find anything alike there.

7. To all: Taldyk is a very well known place. But nobody stayed there for long for thorougly
collecting. Everyone will go further, whether to Aram-Kungei or else. This could explain why Taldyk
stil is surprising us. Remember when Serg Gundorov discovered there Simonius taldykus? And the story
still continues...
