Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Evert Philippus Jacobus Kleynhans
Comment:   Dark navy coloured body rather than denim-blue; no darkening of terminal abdominal segments; Pts dark with brown bottom line akin to T. furva; distal Ax vein full on both front wings, however this isn't a absolute for T. furva (as has been shown in other examples).
