The Red Vein Lancer, Pyroneura niasana burmana (Evans)

From afar ressembles very much Pyroneura perakana because of the reddish brown colour of the veins and its larger size but closer observations will differentiate it from P. perkana:

1. On the hindwing undersides the brown areas are twice wider than the reddish orange veins and
2. the forelegs are clothed in long primrose coloured hair (see pix below)
(C&P)


Compare it to P. perakana perakana (Evans)
