Thanks Anurag Ji for the KEY to four species. But, does it help us to identify the species we/I have discussed so far in the following three threads? -
1. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/q8x3X5TrbrY/9LAisyYhIHwJ (this very thread) 2. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/D5V4vxlW5nc/5q0B7fF9oQ0J 3. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/By2tCca-aOs/niDaDdPIZU8J Would you please identify the above threads again?
