Just described by Saito & Inayoshi, Euthalia prasobsuki. We all know the great local job of collecting in Thailand of P. Sukkit but what do you think of this new "species" status ? Attachments:

Inayoshi-san sent me the original description of this and several other Nymphalidae (Limenitidinae) published in Butterflies (Teinopalpus) no. 65 last year. If anyone wants a copy for private study purposes e-mail me and I can send one.
They place this species in the Euthalia sahadeva group. It does not come from Thailand, as people may assume from the comment in the original post, but is from "Dak Chung, alt. 1,200m, Sekong, S. Laos", which is in the mountains not far from the border with southern Vietnam.
Adam.
