Arnetta mercara (Coorg Forest Hopper) is endemic to the Western Ghats, so yours is not that. It could be a Dusky Partwing (=Coon; in any case, Psolos fuligo), but as I said, I can’t be sure from this picture.

Do you mean Arnetta mercara? I checked on some Forest Hopper images on the net and they aren't as dark as the one I got. Could mine not be a Coon? regards, soma On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 11:01 PM, Kunte, Krushnamegh <[email protected]> wrote: Could be Forest Hopper, hard to be sure without better pictures. ________________________________ From: Soma Jha <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> > Reply-To: butterflyindia <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> > Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:40:27 -0400 To: butterflyindia <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] Fwd: Id Request Many thanks for the ids..
