About Eurema andersoni (Moore, 1886)
Scientific name: Eurema andersoni (Moore, 1886). Description of the wet form: The male has the following characteristics. On the upper side, the outer marginal band of the fore-wing is moderately broad; its medial portion is inclined slightly inward, and its lower portion is inclined very slightly obliquely outward. The hind-wing has a moderately broad outer band. On the underside, ordinary markings are only slightly defined. The fore-wing has two cell-marks, with the basal cell-mark being obsolescent. The female of the wet form has not been observed. Description of the dry form (fig. 2a, b): The male is similar to the wet form male on the upper side. On the underside, ordinary markings are distinct. The fore-wing has a medial cell mark, plus a more or less well-defined sub-apical patch. For the female of the dry form, the upper side is paler. The outer band of the fore-wing is slightly broader, and the outer band of the hind-wing is moderately broad. The underside matches that of the dry form male.
