The Colonel

Pandita sinope sinope is the only representative of its genus in Malaysia and Singapore. It is confined to lowland forest and frequents the same localities as the Athyma and Moduza species. The butterfly is relatively active and is a rapid flyer like the Athyma species. It is alert and is not easily captured except when feeding at the blooms of flowering bushes. The caterpillar is believed to feed on Uncaria species.
