Interesting find—Soritia sp. cf. major suggests a soritia species that is similar to, but not definitively confirmed as, S. major. The “cf.” (confer) is used in taxonomy when identification is uncertain but closely matches a known species. Entries like this highlight how ongoing observation and research are still refining our understanding of moth diversity, especially in regions with rich biodiversity like Taiwan.

Soritia major是一個複合種群, 因為雌雄皆有多態型, 多種共棲, 所以沒有分子鑑定是無法鑑定出來的. 這是徐老師養出來的, 吃華南杜鵑. 照片由蔡阿南小朋友提供.
