Hypolimnas sample for research purpose

[sahoork]

Hi all. I am a research scholar from India. I presently work on the Hypolimnas group of butterflies. For my research work, I need the specimens for the below mentioned species. I request you to reply me if any one can supply any of these specimens to me or let me know from where I would get these specimens. I will bear the expenses.

Hypolimnas aubergeri
Hypolimnas aurifascia




Hypolimnas chapmani 

Hypolimnas deceptor




Hypolimnas errabunda
Hypolimnas euploeoides
Hypolimnas exiguous 


Hypolimnas macarthuri

Hypolimnas inopinata



Thank you all.

I can only speak for African species. H aubergeri and H chapmani are very localised and rarely found in collections. H deceptor should be easier to obtain, the nominate subspecies being found in several areas of the eastern and southern African mainland. H deceptor ssp: deludens is found in Madagascar. I only have the nominate subspecies in my collection.

Thanks, Mcheki. Would you able to supply any of these African specimens to me? Please let me know.

Sahoork,
I have sent you a personal message to ask you more about the reasons you are needing specimens before deciding anything.
