Halpe ceylonica
An endemic, rather uncommon skipper found in wet zone forests from lowlands to mid-hills. Larva feeds on Bambusa vulgaris leaves.
Special thanks to Dr. George Michael van der Poorten who helped to determine the species!
Thank you, Vo Anh Tuan!
I'm grateful if some other people can give suggestions too...
Rithmini Dinhara,
I just mentioned, from there you can find more, the decision is yours.
Ahn Tuan, I don't think so... The white patches on its hindwing are not seen on Pale small-branded swift, which has white spots instead.
