Bibasis oedipodea, the branded orange awlet,[2] is a species of hesperid butterfly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The butterfly was reassigned to the genus Burara by Vane-Wright and de Jong (2003) and is considered by them to be Burara oedipodea.[3]

Range

[edit]

The branded orange awlet is found in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia, Java, Thailand and Vietnam.[2][4] In India, the butterfly is found along the Himalayas from Mussoorie to Assam.[2] The type locality is Java in Indonesia.[2][4]

For a key to the terms used, see Glossary of entomology terms.

The butterfly has a wingspan of 40 to 50 mm for subspecies ataphus found in Sri Lanka, and of 65 to 70 mm in subspecies excellens found in Sulawesi.[4]

Edward Yerbury Watson (1891) gives a detailed description:[5]

Male. Upperside ochreous olive brown; forewing with an ochreous-red costal band which also extends across base of the cell; a large black basal patch below the cell. Cilia of forewing pale brownish grey, of hindwing ochreous-red.

Female. It differs above only in the absence of the basal black patch, and beneath it in the less prominent white posterior marginal band. Underside ochreous-brown: forewing with a paler ochreous subapical and a marginal fascia, and a broad whitish posterior band: hindwing with bright ochreous red longitudinal streak between the veins, broadest between the median and submedian veins and abdominal margin; a small black spot at the base above the costal vein. Thorax in front, head, palpi, body beneath, and legs ochreous-red; terminal joint of palpi brown.

Biology

[edit]

This butterfly is crepuscular.[3] The larva have been recorded on Hiptage benghalensis and Combretum latifolium.[2]
