Allotinus substrigosus substrigosus (Moore)

This tiny Allotinus can be readily distinguished from A. unicolor by the black spot on the center of the HW costa and the underside wing margins are coloured brown. Inhabits the same localities like A. unicolor.

Faunis kirata (de Nicéville)

Like its cousins F. gracilis and F. canens, this is butterfly of the shades and they share the same habits. They are attracted to rotting fruits and sometimes even carrion or dung.

F. kirata can easily be distinguished from F.canens by its much darkened HW tornus area and the ocelli are reduced to a row of yellow dots on the submarginal areas of the undersides.

Compare to F.canens and F. gracilis:
The Common Faun
