Lethe verma stenopa, Tam Dao, 25th August 2016
L. confusa and L. verma are very similar but the latter show HW weakly toothed at vein 4 (making the HW appear more rounded), HW subbasal whitish line zigzag, not as straight as that of confusa.
This is my 8th Lethe species seen in Vietnam... but 39 are listed in "Butterflies of Vietnam, an illustrated checklist" (Monastyrskii & Devyatkin, 2016)... arghhh !!!
