Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   John Henry Wilkinson
Comment:   Pt in hind wing smaller than those in front wing. Absence of dark panels in hind wing excludes gliders and abdomen narrow and straight excludes pantala leaving the cascaders. No cell doubling in radial planate indicates Blue Cascader
