I have some Pieridae I cannot identify from Indonesia. I have found a website for Papua New Guinea that is helpful, but not for other islands. Any suggestions? Here are 9 specimens... Thanks! 1. Timor 4. obi 7. Sulawesi 2. Bali 5. Obi 8. Seram 3. Flores 6. Ambon 9. Sulawesi  |

1. Probably Cepora perimale pitys but need to see the verso.
2. Ixias reinwardti baliensis
3 and 6 - Eurema sp. (I have no detailed knowledge of the genus)
4. Catopsilia scylla
5. Female of 4
7. Appias ithome
8. Appias - probably ada but verso would confirm
9. Catopsilia sp. (probably pomona female but again, no ref. right now and I'm not very familiar with the genus)

Thanks so much! I had the Genera down for some of them, but this helps a lot. Here are the verso of 1, 6, 8... Sorry for the poor picture.  |

I agree with Denny, 6 it is Catopsilia pomona female form yogurtha
3. probably Eurema hecabe female- it is very difficult genus to identify, mainly distinguish by number and shape of spots in forewing cell, but not possible to ID from photo unless it is very good close up photo.

Paul - I think you mean #9 is C. pomona, not #6 |

If they were African I would be almost completely convinced #3 & 6 are Eurema hecabe based on your photos of the recto. A nice close up of the HW verso would likely be helpful. Around here the HW discocellular marking is usually helpful in distinguishing the 2 species.  Notice that in floricola the "shaft"/"crescent" is a lot thinner than the "club". In hecabe this marking as a whole is generally wider/more massive, and the "shaft" is not all that thinner than the "club". |
