Atrophaneura varuna.

Also Nox is red only in thorax whilst these have whole red body.

One has wingspan 58mm, another 62, mine Nox male 75, female about 90mm. Maybe, Nox nix? Or Nox something else? Tomorrow or the day after I'll upload photos of them both. Petr, that will be several butterflies in one photo, what's bad but... the truth is a better friend.

Alexandr, what's with wingspan?

13.02.2013 20:53, Juriy Rogozin

Definitely not A. varuna, both female and male have forewing veins marked with white whilst hind wings aren't glaucous. Instead similar to A. nox male, forewings are a bit darker and glaucous (wingspan is about 7—8 cm).

Could be varuna. I'm not a pro in this group. :)

Other opinions?

Doesn't look like Nox, its hind wings are instead slightly serrated, the very butterfly is smaller and bright glaucous. Besides, Nox is of lighter colour at the wing edges. A. varuna, maybe?

Atrophaneura ?nox.
