Hesperiidae - Addendum
The following species were recorded from the Indo-Chinese region in previous publications, however were omitted from the list for the reasons written below.
Coladenia laxmi laxmi (Nicéville, [1889])
[ THAILAND ]
Coladenia laxmi ; Godfrey,1930 : 364-365. (Prae: Me Song forest)
Coladenia laxmi laxmi ; Evans,1949 : 117. (N.Siam)
Coladenia laxmi laxmi ; Pinratana,1985 : 35, not fig. (Prae)
Coladenia laxmi laxmi ; Ek-Amnuay,[2007] : 758. (Phrae)
Coladenia laxmi laxmi ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 40.
Coladenia laxmi laxmi ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : 808. (Phrae)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only one record from Thailand is known from the list in Godfrey (1930).
There are a number of questionable records from "Prae [Phrae]" in the list, but these may be an erroneous locality.
Celaenorrhinus munda maculicornis Elews & Edwards, 1897
[ THAILAND ]
Celaenorrhinus maculicornis ; Godfrey,1930 : 358. (Muak Lek; Chonburi: Sriracha; Chiang Rai)
Celaenorrhinus munda maculicornis ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 34. (by literature)
Calaenorrhinus [sic] munda maculicornis ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : pl.369, fig.H47,center♂(Evans). (in part)
[ VIETNAM ]
Celaenorrhinus munda maculicornis ; Devyatkin & Monastyrskii,1999 : 159. (N: Tam Dao)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This taxon is known from Sikkim, Assam to Myanmar and Godfrey (1930) recorded from Thailand.
However, it is possibly a misidentification of Celaenorrhinus putra as Kimura et al. (2011) pointed out.
Pinratana (1985), Ek-Amnuay ([2007],2012) also recorded it, but all these records are misidentifications.
Furthermore, it was recorded from Vietnam by Devyatkin & Monastyrskii (1999), but that is also considered to be a misidentification.
Therefore, I delete it from the list.
Gerosis phisara tenebrosa (Joicey & Talbot, 1921)
[ THAILAND ]
Gerosis phisara tenebrosa ; Pinratana,1985 : 39. not fig. (E; list only)
Gerosis phisara tenebrosa ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 43. (by literature)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This taxon is known from Hainan, and was recorded from "eastern Thailand" by Pinratana (1985).
However, no photos or details of specimens are available and it is considered to be a misidentification.
Halpe aurifera (Elwes & Edwards, 1897)
[ THAILAND ]
Halpe aurifera ; Pinratana,1985 : 55. not fig. (P; list only)
Halpe aurifera ; Ek-Amnuay,[2007] : 780, pl.357, figs.H131,♂(Malaysia),♂(Un,Malaysia). ('Yala' [loc.err.])
Halpe aurifera ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 58. (by literature)
Halpe aurifera ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : 832, pl.383, figs.H128,♂(Malaysia),♂(Un,Malaysia). ('Yala' [loc.err.])
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This taxon was recorded from "Peninsular Thailand" by Pinratana (1985).
However, no photographs or details of specimens are available.
Ek-Amnuay ([2007],2012) recorded it from "Yala", but the figured specimen was from Malaysia.
No reliable specimens have ever been obtained from Thailand.
Therefore, I remove it from the list until new reliable specimens are obtained in the future.
Apostictopterus fuliginosus curiosus (Swinhoe, 1917)
[ THAILAND ]
Apostictopterus fuliginosus curiosus ; Pinratana,1985 : 58. not fig. (list only)
Apostictopterus fuliginosus curiosus ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 60. (by literature)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This taxon is known from Manipur and Naga Hills, and was recorded by Pinratana (1985).
However no photographs or details of specimens are available and it is considered to be a misidentification.
Isma bononoides (H.H.Druce, 1912)
[ THAILAND ]
Isma bononoides ; Maruyama,1991 : 39. (S.Thai)
Isma bononoides ; Ek-Amnuay,[2007] : 798. (by literature)
Isma bononoides ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 77. (by literature)
'Isma damocles ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : pl.395, fig.H187,♂(right, W.Malaysia),♀(right, W.Malaysia) (in part)'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This taxon is known from W. Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra and Bangka and was recorded by Maruyama (1991).
However, the record lacks a photo and details of the specimen.
Therefore, I remove it from the list until new reliable specimens are obtained in the future.
Acerbas sarala quinquepuncta (Joicey & Talbot, 1921)
[ THAILAND ]
Lotongus sarala quinquepuncta ; Pinratana,1985 : 85. no fig. (list only)
Lotongus sarala quinquepuncta ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 83. (by literature)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This taxon is known from Hainan, and was recorded by Pinratana (1985).
However no photographs or details of specimens are available and it is considered to be a misidentification.
Potanthus chloe Eliot, 1960
[ THAILAND ]
Potanthus chloe ; Ek-Amnuay,[2007] : 830, pl.381, fig.H267,♀,♀(Un). [at least not chloe] (no loc.)
Potanthus chloe ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : 892, pl.412, fig.H264,♂,♂[♀](Un). [photo from Eliot,1998] (Nan)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ek-Amnuay ([2007]) recorded this taxon from "Nan".
But at least it is not chloe.
Subsequently, Ek-Amnuay (2012) recorded this taxon again from "Nan".
However, the specimen photos are from W.Malaysia by Eliot (1992: pl.59).
It is unlikely that this taxon could be found in Nan in terms of distribution.
Therefore, I remove it from the list.
Polytremis minuta (Evans, 1926)
[ THAILAND ]
Polytremis minuta ; Pinratana,1985 : 110, pl.37. fig.251,♂. (no loc.)
Polytremis minuta ; Ek-Amnuay,[2007] : 836, pl.385, fig.H291,♂. (no loc.)
Polytremis minuta ; Kimura et al.,2011 : 104. (by literature)
Polytremis minuta ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : 902, pl.417, fig.H288,♂. (no loc.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinratana (1985) recorded this taxon from "Thailand" by a single male specimen with unknown details.
However, due to lack of certainty, I remove it from the list until new reliable specimens are obtained in the future.
Caltoris confusa (Evans, 1932)
[ THAILAND ]
Caltoris confusa ; Ek-Amnuay,[2007] : 842, pl.387, figs.H304,♂,♂(Un),♀. (Chiang Mai; Than to)

Caltoris confusa ; Ek-Amnuay,2012 : 908, pl.419, figs.H301,♂,♂(Un),♀. (Chiang Mai; Thanto)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ek-Amnuay ([2007],2012) recorded this taxon from Thailand, however, it is considered to be a misidentification of Caltoris bromus.
