This group really interests me, at least in getting the most distinct species. I'm still looking for some of the harder to get species like E. francina, perseis, barnsi...
I was so happy when I got "rare" ones like E. imperialis and zampa . Even that E. harpalis with the blue hindwing was elusive for a long time but now I see it offered more often
Then there's a whole bunch that look all the same that are more species for Euphaedra specialists

More Euphaedra just taken off the boards, all part of a mixed lot of 100 un-identified from Ivory Coast, now begins the hard bit (but this is also the best bit) identifying them all, as they are all from Angeudedou (i think that's how it's spelt?) Cote d'ivoire.. it shouldn't be too hard.  These are not bad quality, some near perfect, which at $1 each is my kind of purchase (always choose quantity over quality as long as they are A1-/A- specimens) reference collections are never perfect specimens, that and i'm skint.. ;D Rich Attachments:

I think that's several E. janetta in the right row

That's what i was thinking also, i also think the 3rd specimen down on both rows (same picture as the Janetta) is E.Crookeri,?? others possibly Ceres? and Phaetusa?. They ain't papilio so i'm not used to these, so many almost identicle, then add the forms in the mix and it's very hard. Still that's part of the enjoyment of collecting.. Rich |

I think your right about E.crockeri, I have one also and it's distinct .For the other ones it's more difficult

Here is a photo of all recently added un-identified Euphaedra showing all the undersides, i think there are 3 Tenebrosa, then it gets very confusing (for me at least) i believe there are E.Ceres, E.Phaetusa and E.Innanum may be others, but as there are forms of each species i can not 100% asign any of them a label. I shall be up loading close up photo's of all these in a new thread on the bug identification topic later and would appreciate any help in identifying each specimen (especially from the Nymphalidae collectors amongst you). Quite how Hecq managed to identify so many species i don't know, i'm struggling with 3 (maybe more).. Rich Attachments:
