Moore 1857 - The Wavy Maplet

Koh Samui only.

A common forest species. This is easily mistaken for the equally common C. intermedia, but can be distinguished by having two small dark subapical spots, whereas the latter only has one.

It is a weak flyer. Typical of the Genus, when it rests, it keeps its wings open making it very difficult to photograph the undersides.
