Vielen Dank. Sie bringen mich auf dem richtigen Weg: es ist in der Tat ein Satyridae als Taygetis mermeria CRAMER 1776 von Französisch-Guayana. Es bleibt die Unterart für Minas Gerais zu überprüfen.
Nochmals vielen Dank!

Dank an die diese Schmetterling fotografiert in Pitangui in Minas Gerais (westlich
von Belo Horizonte, Brasilien) identifizieren kann.
Laut dem Autor des Fotos ist die Oberseite sehr dunkel rot.
Ist das eine Art von Anaea?Vielen Dank!

Many thanks to who can identify this lep photographed in Pitangui, Minas Gerais (west of Belo Horizonte, Brazil). According to the author of the photograph, the upper surface is very dark red.
Is this a species of Anaea??
Thank you!

I don't believe it would be Catopsilia pomona form pomona (from Asia) female :
a) C. pomona has a yellow colour
b) the shape of the black dots on the fore wing is regular and that's not the case on this picture.(I checked in my books and on my own collected samples).
It looks much more like a neotropical butterfly (female, of course) :
Phoebis avellaneda (Cuba, Haïti, Dominican Rep.) or Phoebis philea ?
It's certainly a Phoebis according the form of the black dots on the FW (irregular). D'Abrera shows different ssp. (females) :- P. p. huebneri : Cuba
- P. p. thalestris : Haïti, Dominican Rep. & Piuerto Rico
- P. p. philea : Mexico to southern Brazil.Your sample looks more like the ssp. huebneri . But, it's not so easy to distinguish huebneri from thalestris. Ssp. philea presents orange colour on the HW marginal area.
Anyway, it would be easier knowing the geographical origin !!!

I reply to some questions :
- P. polydorus caterpillar size : about 4 cm (see pictures) ; it seems that the larva was on the same leave where it had been pictured.
- night collecting in Ceram : see attached pictures ; sorry, only general pictures, no detail.
Best wishes

I presume this one is Eupterote multicarcuata Holloway, 1976 ?

Dear Hans,
Thanks for your reply. I insert mines inside your text :
"We are probably on the same side. I also try to help if the topic is not
too specific. Even an incorrect diagnosis can give the right cue to start
a successful search in the web. And one can learn."I do agree ! Even an incorrect determination could give the way to something more acurate.
"Unfortunately concerning butterflies from Australasia more or less my
horizon starts and ends with the Philippines. My trips to Australia and
PNG (see my present avatar)are long time ago."My present avatar : picture taken in Warkapi, Arfak, Papua. Primary forest with many O. priamus poseidon, P. ulysses, P. lorquinianus, Jamides coritus, Nacaduba cyanea, and so on. Nice spot !!
"I repeated one of your links to draw attention on the mentioned book of
Colin G Treadaway et al. I consider it to be excellent. There is written a
lot about many families of moth in the Phils. As Eupterope does not
belong to the Saturniidae it is not mentioned there. So they omitted Eupterope, and one must accept this as the editor's
right. I own this book,text in English. CGT is well-known as a ceaseless
field researcher, so one can imagine most of collecting data are
authentic.But even those authors are subject to errors, when theirs
collectors/catchers due to indigenious negligence or deliberate
malinformation. Once on Leyte Island I met one guy allegedly collecting
for CGT, but then telling him his material is from Mindanao. As long as
those people mean insects are something like flying or creeping
banknotes a given patria often remains doubtful."I know that very well. In several places in Sulawesi, I met local collectors working for Detani (Famous insects seller in Denpasar) : their papered samples were without collecting data ! Sometimes, they did not remember from where was the butterfly !
"If you should not know yet, here the link for an other interesting site: http://www.saturniidae-web.de/"
Actually, I did not know this website. It looks very interesting ! Many thanks for this link that I'll insert in our links page "Saturniidae" asap.
"About the picture from Papua I think it's belonging to
Euterope. Unfortunately it's not very sharp, I cannot recognize the
antennae and the hindwing is half covered. As for now it resembles more
E. multiarcuata in one of your abovementioned statements."Yes, I believe too. Sorry for the poor quality of the Eupterote picture. Here is larger size. And I add some shots from Warkapi (Papua), just for the pleasure.
Warm regards,

Dear Keith,
Here is the answer I received this early morning : you were right !
" Here's the reply : Hi Adam - the first pic is a darker form of lydius - the larvae vary but it is Ornithoptera for sure - the second specimen is a Pachliopta I took larvae of P. polydorus in Irian and they are very similar to the second pic - but this is from Irian Jaya not Halmahera. Do you have any other info but YES it is P. polydorus - I would say early 5th.
I hope that sorts it out,
Adam. "Thanks for this useful and interesting correction !

Thanks for helping in these moths identification !
Moths from Baliem Valley and Pass Valley (Papua) :
Vielen Dank für den, der zur Identifizierung dieser Motten in Papua beitragen kann! -
And what about this one from Pass Valley in Papua : Eupterope ?

Just for fun : a Saturniidae moth I collected in Sulawesi :

About the caterpillar : I sent the picture and received this (provisional) answer :
"Dear Jean-Marc,
I have forwarded your e-mail with photos to someone who knows the larvae from that region, as I am not familiar with the precise differences in Troidine larvae from Moluccas.
I should point out that polydorus is not an Atrophaneura. That genus should be solely for the nox, varuna, priapus etc group of species. polydorus belongs to Pachliopta (aristolochiae and other related species), which is sister group to Losaria (coon, rhodifer, neptunus and palu).
When I get some news from my friend about the larvae photos I will let you know.
All the best,
Adam."
