The Travancore Evening Brown is larger and looks quite different. You can see its pictures at: http://ifoundbutterflies.org/428-parantirrhoea/parantirrhoea-marshalli BTW, we will be interested in covering greater variation in the undersides of the Purple Leaf Blue on the Butterflies of India website. We will be very glad if ButterflyIndia members can contribute high quality images to the website. Contact me at <[email protected]> with the pictures and relevant details if you are interested. With best wishes, Krushnamegh. ------------------------------------------------- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Post-doctoral Research Fellow FAS Center for Systems Biology Harvard University 52 Oxford St., Northwest Lab Room 458.40-3 Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.
