Pseudocoladenia dan
species of insect
Pseudocoladenia dan, commonly known as the fulvous pied flat, is an Indomalayan species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found from India to southeast Asia.
Description
Male. Upperside rufous-brown. Forewing with three semi-hyaline small white sub-apical spots from near the costa, the middle one the smallest and well inwards; in some examples one or both of the lower spots are absent; a large semi-hyaline spot inside the cell, near its end, its inner side square, its outer side deeply excavated, with a small spot between it and the costa, a small round spot near the base of the second median interspace, a much larger round spot in the middle of the first median interspace, and a minute spot (sometimes two) below them in the middle of the interno-median interspace, all these spots slightly tinged with ochreous, and varying much in size in diticrent examples; sometimes the large excavated spot in the cell is split into two, sometimes represented by a small round spot immediately below the sub-costal vein near the end of the cell, and sometimes it is entirely absent; there are some brownish indistinct marks on the wing, one in the interno-median interspace before the middle, a series of conjoined discal marks and an indistinct outer marginal band. Hindwing with a brown spot at the end of the cell, a discal brown macular band, corresponding in its curve to the outer margin, and a marginal band. Cilia of both wings brown. Underside like the upperside, but duller in colour. Forewing similarly marked. Hindwing with the brown bands somewhat more distinct, the cell spot with a brown spot on each side of it, and a sub-basal brown spot.

Why this record matters
“Pseudocoladenia dan” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pseudocoladenia, species and insect provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7254679. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
