The Apefly, Spalgis epius epius (Westwood)

In flight tends to be feeble, ressembling a large Prosotas dubiosa and settles like that of a rionid with wings half open. They keep to the dark understoreys and when disturbed will return to the same spot.

The Forest Pierrot, Taraka hamada mendesia (Fruhstorfer)

This ia a rare denizen of the forest and it ressembles a miniature Castalius but on close inspection the body ressembles that of the Mottle, Logania sp. Commoner by forest streams during the wet season.
