Been on a research binge. I really really adore the Lycaenidae........I have several favorites.......genera.....Horaga, Tajuria, etc. Too many. Deudorix epijarbus is beautiful. Red........who'd ever thought....red Lycaenids. *.*

Ok.......I'm on autopilot now of sorts so apologies if I'm not making any sense. Don't feel too great. It's snowing and I'm in my house researching my lovely angels.

• Deudorix diovis. Figs. 10 ♀, 11, 12 ♂. Accepted as Deudorix diovis Hewitson, 1863.
• Deudorix dioetas. Figs. 13, 15 ♀, 14 ♂. Accepted as Rapala dioetas (Hewitson, 1863).
• Deudorix epijarbas. Figs. 16, 18 ♂, 17 ♀. Accepted as Deudorix epijarbas (Moore, 1857).

I wonder why Deudorix dioetas was changed to Rapala dioetas? Was there something different in the wing venation/genetalia perhaps that distinguished it as a separate species worthy of it's own genera?

Warning.Some taxa/names may be misidentified/misapplied or placed in a different genus

• 1, 1a, b Nacaduba viola = Horaga albimacula viola (Moore, 1882)
• 2, 2a Nacaduba ardates = Prosotas nora ardates (Moore, 1874)
• 3, 3a, b Lampides aelianus = Cupido aelianus (Fabricius, 1793)=Jamides celeno aelianus
• 4, 4a Lampides elpis Godart, 1823 = Lampides kankena

 ↑ LOL at Wikipedia. XD If some of the taxa are possibly misidenitfied why doesn't someone do something about it? I'm no expert on Lycaenidae but I'm sure you could find someone. XD

I'll spam y'all with more later. I must go and de-thaw. It's disgusting out. X_X
