I'm fairly sure these both belong in Theclinae... but if anyone can help me narrow it down more, that would be awesome. Caught 7/VII/2014 Nebobongo, Haut-Uele, DRC  Caught 29/VI/2014 Nebobongo, Haut-Uele, DRC (Syrmoptera sp.?)  |

Hi:
I think the first one is Hypokopelates eleala.

Hi: I think the first one is Hypokopelates eleala. They definitely look similar! Though from what I'm reading eleala's range doesn't extend as far east as where I caught that specimen... I'm not sure if that's significant though. Thanks! Tom |

Hello Tom:
In ¨Butterflies of the World¨ the book of H.L.Lewis(Yes I know that the book was written in 1975)in the few words dedicated for every specie,H.eleala is cited from Sierra Leona to Congo.

Miguel Yes, what I've read has it located in western and central D.R. Congo. The location where I caught it is in NE D.R. Congo... I mean, it's all one continuous forested zone from central Congo to where I caught it, so it could be just a new record for the species, but I'm not yet an expert, which is why I'm a bit hesitant. Thank you, Tom |

Oh! ... I believe the ID was misspelled and probably should be, as you had suggested, Syrmoptera melanomitra nivea (not neavei). |
