Rich, do you have a good resource for identifying Euphaedra? I recently acquired quite a few and have only been able to id a few of them so far. Unfortunately no Chris, the 2 boxes of underside specimens are very variable and as yet not positively identified but as they are all from the Ivory Coast I believe they are a mix of ceres and phaethusa with different forms of each, I bought a box of 100 assorted A1-/A2 mixed Euphaedra specimens from eBay several years ago, also the top right box in the first picture (showing 4 boxes) where purchased as 10 pairs Euphaedra eberti, if this is true they are extremely variable, though they are from insectsale, I/d and data is not very reliable but at $15 for 10 pairs is good value and for me part of the fun is in identifying them, I just haven't got around to getting the literature to do this just yet, I need butterflies of the world book on these and cymothoe if it exists yet?

Rich, my lower jaw just hit the floor like a lead brick.... Your Papilionidae holdings are just breathtaking AND unbelievable at the same time.
