The Narrow-banded Velvet Bob, Koruthaialos rubecula rubecula (Plötz)

This skipper is found in the same vicinities of K. sindhu and are often seen together. It can be differentiated from K. sindhu by its narrower and shorter discal band which does not reach the costal margin of the forewings.

The Bright Red Velvet Bob, Koruthailos sindu sindu (C. & R. Felder)

This butterfly is commonly found scuttling around the understory of the forest, often resting and sunning itself on the edge of the forest on a sunny spot. The hesperiids of this genus are easily identifiable from others by their rather plain brown wings above and below with a band of orange red on the forewings. Commoner during the wetter months of the year.
