Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Fanie Rautenbach
Comment:   This is actually Colotis ione. The front wing tips are grey (not black as in C. regina), it does not have the black spot in the white part of the front wing and the area covered by purple is much smaller than in C. regina.
