Cechenena helops Walker; Rothschild & Jordan, 1903: 801.

Cechenena helops (.65 natural size)

Diagnosis. The mottled grey-green forewings with the round, dark green subbasal patch are diagnostic.

Geographical range. N. India to Bismarck Is.

Habitat preference. The species is less frequent than lineosa but has been taken in the same range of localities.

Biology. The larva was described by Dupont & Roepke (1941). The young larva is green with pale yellow dots and a pair of ocelli on A1. The mature larva is greyish brown speckled dark brown. White lines run from the ocelli to the head. The short horn is downcurved, dark brown, granulated with white tubercles.

The host-plant recorded was Tetrastigma (Vitidaceae).

Euthalia aconthea garuda male form

Common Baron Garuda Sumatra
Euthalia aconthea garuda (Moore,[1858])

Synonym :
Euthalia aconthea apama Fruhstorfer,1913 : in Seitz, Grossschmett Erde. 9:667. TL. ??(Thailand)
Euthalia aconthea meridionalis

This is very hard for us to identify, due the minimal information. Very hard to find photo from internet and catalog. Finally we found the pattern from Yukata web site (A Check List of Butterflies in Indo-China, Chiefly from THAILAND, LAOS & VIETNAM), so our euthalia from rejang land namely as Euthalia aconthea garuda, and I think this is the first record in photo from Rejang land nature, and must add to in Sumatra Butterfly check list.

Record in :
Curup Town, Rejang land, Sumatra, Indonesia

Baron

Euthalia aconthea meridionalis

Fruhstorfer NYMPHALIDAE

(= Euthalia garuda ( Moore))

Adult

Upperside dark olive-brown. FW male dark brown at the base with 3 U- shaped marginal bands and 2 groups of white spots. HW with pinkish tinge at the anterior border, 4 black spots at the base and a submarginal row of black spots. Female olive brown, similar to male but with larger white markings and more rounded HW. Underside grayish brown with grey markings at the apex and base, marked as above, black spots along the wing margins and blackish rings at the base. Wingspan 55-80mm.

The most widely distributed species of Euthalia in South India, more in the forests. As mango, its principal host plant is cultivated everywhere, it is now very common even in cities and crowded markets, on rotten vegetables and fruits, toddy, plant sap and damp patches. Highly territorial in habit, it often returns to the same spot again and again.

Larva

Green with red spotted head, pale dorsal line dotted with blue and white spots and 10 pairs of long, laterally projecting, delicate branched spines. While resting on leaves, it positions its body along the midrib and lateral spines parallel to the leaf veins, thus mimicking the leaf perfectly.

Feeds on mango, cashewnut, white bryony, rose, mulberry, loranthus, etc.

Distribution

India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Malaysia, Indonesia (Rejang Land, Sumatra) and the Sundaland.

Ambulyx canescens canescens (Walker, [1865])

Ambulyx canescens

Ambulyx (formerly Oxyambulyx) canescens is considered a forest pest because its larvae feed on the leaves of young Dryobalanops lanceolata, a timber tree. This hawkmoth is found in Indochina, Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Borneo and the Philippines.

Oxyambulyx canescens Walker; Rothschild & Jordan, 1903: 205.

Ambulyx canescens (.65 natural size)

Diagnosis. Both this and the next species differ from Bornean congeners in having a pair of ocellate marks subapically on the abdomen rather than a narrow dorsal line, more than two subbasal patches on the forewing, definite discal spots, and hindwings concolorous with the forewing. A. canescens is a more greyish species with stronger subbasal markings on the forewing and a stronger green edging to the thorax; there are distinctive pale patches on the hindwing.

Geographical range. S.E. Asia, Sundaland; Philippines. Sumatra.

Habitat preference. Harman (1981) recorded the species generally in Brunei. On the Kinabalu and Mulu surveys it was only taken above 1500m, the highest record being from 2600m. Now we recorded at May 2009 at Curup town, rejang land, sumatra, Indonesia.

Biology. The species has been reared from Shorea lepidota (Dipterocarpaceae) at FRIM (Forest Research Institute of Malaysia). And now we found at Curup town, Rejang Land, Sumatra, Indonesia.
