Ramjee, I try to help others whenever I can. Work schedule is very hectic nowadays, so I cannot answer every query. Hopefully others will keep jumping in on a regular basis to help beginners, or whenever something challenging comes up.

Greetings from Chennai. I've been a passive observer learing from the exchange of mails... I bow to you for the way you untiringly you share your passion. It is catching up... In fact through me for sure you have ignited this passion in atleast a dozen others... :) In these last set of mails-exchange members in the group could get to learn on how to narrow down on the IDs when the morphological features are identical to other sps... Thank you again.

It could be a Dusky Partwing (=Coon; in any case, Psolos fuligo), but as I said, I can’t be sure from this picture. ________________________________ From: Soma Jha <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> > Reply-To: butterflyindia <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 11:58:10 -0400 To: butterflyindia <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] Fwd: Id Request Thank you. 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] <http://[email protected]> > wrote: Could be Forest Hopper, hard to be sure without better pictures. ________________________________ From: Soma Jha <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> <http://[email protected]> > Reply-To: butterflyindia <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> <http://[email protected]> > Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:40:27 -0400 To: butterflyindia <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> <http://[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] Fwd: Id Request Many thanks for the ids..
