Lemaireia chrysopeplus Toxopeus

A record of Lemaireia chrysopeplus from S. Kalimantan was noted by Beck & Nässig (2008). The most obvious difference from loepoides is in the ocellar rings surrounding the hindwing hyaline spot, running from inner to outer as follows: blackish brown, greyish, brown (loepoides); red, greyish, brownish black (chrysopeplus). These rings are more sharply defined, the outermost one narrower, in chrysopeplus. Nässig & Wang (2006) have extended the range of the genus to China, describing a new species from Hainan.
