I have waited for years for not just the male, but especially a female. She is huge as well. Love this genus ;D Attachments:

ruma...sorry to hear about your specimen losses. Yes, both E. tiberius and E. trajanus look pretty similar and both are beautiful. One could easily mistake them. You're indeed fortunate to have collected any of these yourself  Attachments:

Hey, Bill, if you had let me know that you wanted a female, I could have had William Kilumile collect them for you. You could have had a female ten years earlier, with very good collecting data.

Bill - I just received a batch of Tanzanian Leps, yesterday. I do have 2 pairs of lovely A1 E.tiberius available.....and extraordinary Charaxes.
Give a buzz, if you ( or anyone you know ) have an interest.

I'm missing that one but it seems like a version of E.trajanus without the grey spots on the hindwings, so I was never too obsessed with it
