sorry to insist but there seems to be of different sexes (2 and 3) and the differences you listed can be put under this sexual dimorphism. Ok! I'll trust your judgement on this one. Since they're male and female, I think it's safe to assume they belong to the same species. Caught in the same place at the same time, sub-apical band close to the same shape, verso markings are relatively the same. Unfortunately, this really leaves me without a clue as to the ID. Can't be fascinata or procera!

2) Euphaedra sp. Caught 25/vii/2016 Nebobongo, Haut-Uele (2°28'N, 27°38'E) 760m 3) Euphaedra sp. Caught 25/vii/2016 Nebobongo, Haut-Uele (2°28'N, 27°38'E) 760m I'm still working on this... if it weren't for Hecq's revision being quite clear that the sub-apical band is pure white, I'd consider placing these as Euphaedra procera. Thoughts?

Hi Tom, is the underside colour in the photo of no 3 an accurate match of the specimen, or is it more green?
Thanks

The underside colour is a pretty good match... though depending on the angle of the wings, they can be a bit more golden-orange or more blue-green than seen here.

Hi Tom, thanks for your response. Apologies for the delay at the moment, but I've been wrestling with severe depression for the last year, and sometimes I can do nothing but sleep most of the time. I'll get to these 2 Euphaedra as soon as I can.Kind regards, John

No worries John. I'm sorry to read about your illness. Depression sucks.
