Nr3 is Elymnias panthera tautra, not E. harterti. E. harterti looks different to me and is extremely rare. I think P. australis from Timika is subspecies hewitsoni but I don't have my literature here with me to check if they are hewitsoni or mafalda. Anybody can check this? Btw they look great considering these are from our A2 lots! I always see them papered  |

Yes, P. australis from Timika is hewitsoni, with the assumption that mafalda is a synonym.
I agree that the Elymnias is panthera tautra.
