Hello, I just get an old collection from DRC with a lot of butterflies. But it's not my stuff so I don't have much info for identification some of them have a name but the others don't. They come from Boma area (Congo), and have been catched during 70' years. Anyone have an idea? Thanks, Seb Box 1 Box 2 Box 3 Box 4

I'll help, but it would be a lot easier if you could post larger images.

Ok, so I was bored and made a go at it. Though I must say, I'm not going to bother with the other boxes until larger images are available and Thierry's suggestion is followed. It took more time than I would have liked for me to put this together. 1) Protogoniomorpha parhassus 2) Catopsilia florella (male) 3) Catopsilia florella (female) 4) Eurema desjardinsii regularis (though some people have separated regularis from desjardinsii, which could make this either E. regularis or E. desjardinsii marshalli... but I'd need to see a large image to know which form/sp./ssp. this is.) 5) Appias sabina (likely) 6) X 2 Eurema hecabe solifera 7) Eurema floricola leonis 8) Eurema floricola leonis (probably) 9) Eurema hapale 10) Leptosia nupta (I'm not sure what the ssp. is in Boma, but probably the nominate) 11) Bicyclus sp. (would probably need to see the underside) 12) Telchinia serena (probably) 13) Various Lycaenids (I'd probably be able to ID most of these at a larger resolution.) 14) Oboronia sp. 15) Liptena undularis 16) ? 17) Mylothris sp. (probably) 18) Citrinophila erastus ? 19) Afriodinia sp. 20) Belenois creona

Nice African Hesperiidae!
I've been after some of these species for awhile, any members know a good source for African skippers?
