Palm butterfly?

[Niklas Wahlberg]

Hi,
   Looking at Common & Waterhouse's Butterflies of Australia, I find two
species of hesperids associated with palms: Cephrenes trichopepla (yellow
palmdart) and C. augiades (orange palmdart). The former feeds on Cocos
nucifera (coconut) and the latter on some Australian palms. Also one
satyrid is known as the palmfly (Elymnias agondas), which apparently feed
on Calamus (lawyer palms).

Cheers,
Niklas
