Cyphon padi (Linnaeus), male
Moved from variabilis complex. Tentative ID. I think this one and the other one are probably C. padi.

Cyphon sp., male
Cannot be reliably ID'd until the genus is revised. Probably within the C. variabilis complex of species. Specimen will be kept as a photo-voucher. Thanks Tom.
