Polyura eudamippus flight season?

[Roger C. KENDRICK]

Hi Niklas,

My search didn't prove very helpful.

P. eudamippus appears to be double brooded in South China and single brooded
further north,, according to Chou Io (chief ed.), 1994. Monographia
Rhopalocerorum Sinensium. Henan Scientific & Technological Publishing House,
China., but no specific dates are given (assuming my very poor knowledge of
Chinese interpreted the text correctly). The species is given as double
brooded in Hainan (S.China) (Gu M-b & Chen P-z, 1997, Butterflies in Hainan
Island, [Beijing - ISBN 7-503-81922-7]); again no data regarding dates. The
same can be said for Corbet A.S. & Pendlebury H.M., 1992 (4th ed.) The
Butterflies of the Malay Peninsula, Malayan Nature Soc., Kuala Lumpur,
although it is stated to be rare (in Malaya).

regards,

Roger.
